Description
Measuring temperature is of fundamental importance for the health and well-being of reptiles living in the terrarium. Reptiles cannot regulate their own body temperature and are dependent on the conditions that their owner offers them in the terrarium.
In addition to the right temperature in the terrarium, regulating the humidity is one of the central issues when keeping reptiles. Each species of reptile has its own individual requirements and for reptiles the humidity in the terrarium plays a very important role because, in contrast to humans, reptiles get most of their fluid needs through their skin and Lungs and incorrect humidity in the terrarium can have fatal consequences. For example, many species of reptiles very quickly become ill with dangerous pneumonia if the air surrounding them in the terrarium is too dry. Skin problems and the constant risk of dehydration are also the consequences of too low humidity.
The digital Repti Meter from Amazonas is a 2-in-1 precision instrument and is equipped for precise measurements of air and relative humidity. This precision instrument features a minimum/maximum temperature-humidity storage setting, programmable with just one button. The digital Repti Meter is stable and easy to use, its indoor temperature measuring range is from -10°C to 50°C and the outside temperature measuring range is from -50°C to 70°C. The humidity measurement range is between 20% and 99% RH
Installation is also very easy: the sensor can be mounted with a suction cup where the measurement should take place. The instrument, on the other hand, can be attached with a (included) Velcro fastener so that you have a good view of it.
The device comes without batteries and has a 2-year guarantee.
Do not place the thermometer too close to heat sources, otherwise the measurements may be distorted. Installation in a central location without major fluctuations is ideal.
