Exo Terra Dial Thermometer, Black & Gray

The media could not be loaded. I bought this analog thermometer originally meant for reptiles, but I’ve been using it to monitor temperature in my chick brooder and it works brilliantly. It’s accurate, easy to read at a glance, and doesn’t require batteries, which is a huge plus when you’re already juggling heat lamps, bedding, and feeders.Yes, it’s not exactly a design statement visually, it’s more “lizard cave chic” than cute farmhouse aesthetic- but it more than makes up for that in reliability. I’ve compared it to a digital probe and it tracks closely, giving me confidence that my chicks are staying in the right temperature zone.If you can get past the looks, this little gadget is a solid and affordable choice. In the end, the chicks don’t care what it looks like and honestly, neither do I anymore. Function over form, and this one delivers. Would definitely recommend for brooders or any small animal setup.

So far correct reading so I'm happy with it. Strong sticky back so its not going anywhere. Can easily see display even at the back of tank.

Good for what it is, but seems to measure the temp between it and the wall its attached to, so when measuring the temp in a vivarium like me it tells you little.I still have one but do not depend on it alone. If you wish to use one of these I would highly recommend a thermometer gun to keep track of key areas to ensure your reptile has adequate temps throughout its enclosure, and only depend on this for a "quick glance"

Brilliant and u get paper for check out like the quality which is brilliant, colour is excellent.

I bought this thermometer for a new baby corn snake vivarium; for the cool end of the enclosure. It's as simple as it gets in terms of installation and just sticks where you want it. Easy to read display and appears to give an accurate reading you would expect with the heat lamp on the other end of the vivarium.

I've always been a fan of Exo-Terra products and was in need of a thermometer for a new enclosure so purchased this recently. First thing's first, I do find this dial thermometer to reflect accurate temperatures even when compared to digital readings; when fixed into place, I find that I am able to achieve accurate readings within roughly 30 minutes.The thermometer comes with a self adhesive pad on the rear which allows you to fix this into position. I have always found the placement, size and adhesion of the pad to be great and have found these to adhere well to a wide variety of enclosures, plastic, glass or wood.Sadly, I do now have to criticise this thermometer. I have awarded this 3 stars from a potential 5, essentially stating that I think 'it's okay'. It is fit for purpose but I will probably not purchase this model again in the future. This is a nice looking product but I personally feel that it isn't the easiest to read, in spite of the bright colour coding on the face of the thermometer. I feel that Exo-Terra have wasted precious space by splashing their logo across at least a third of the surface area, meaning the actual dial range is cramped into a significantly smaller space than it needs to be. The digits are printed in tiny black lettering which shows up well against the yellow background but not so well in the other sections.Further, the red indicator doesn't show up well at all when in the hottest temperature range due to the red background which has been used on the face of the thermometer here. I recently purchased a model from a rival company within the same price range which has a black face with white printed digits. Despite looking much more simple and having no colour coding, I actually find it far easier to read. In addition, the temperature range is spread across a much larger area as the company logo is much smaller which also makes taking accurate readings easier than when using the Exo Terra PT2465.If this review has been helpful to you, please take the time to rate it by clicking 'yes' below.

I thought I’d get this for my Vivarium. Please don’t make the same mistake as me. This is more like a toy, the readings are completely wrong which is dangerous when you need a certain temperature for your pets. I even put it in the fridge and it was still reading 20 degrees. How the hell can my fride be 20 degrees? Vivarium was at a steady 26 degrees, this rubbish item reads 30+DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS.
