Zoo Med Dual Thermometer And Humidity Gauge

The Zoo Med Dual Thermometer and Humidity Gauge is a monitoring device designed specifically for terrariums, which are commonly used to house reptiles, amphibians, and other exotic pets that require specific environmental conditions. This device combines both a thermometer and a humidity gauge into a single unit, making it convenient for terrarium owners to track and maintain the temperature and humidity levels within the enclosure.

Key features of the Zoo Med Dual Thermometer and Humidity Gauge:

Dual Functionality: As the name suggests, this device serves two functions – monitoring both temperature and humidity. This is important because different species of animals require different temperature and humidity ranges to thrive.

Temperature Range: The thermometer scale covers a range from 20°F to 120°F (-6°C to 49°C), which allows you to keep track of the temperature within your terrarium. Maintaining the correct temperature is crucial for the health and well-being of the animals within the enclosure.

Humidity Scale: The humidity gauge scale ranges from 0% to 100%. This enables you to monitor the humidity levels inside the terrarium, which is particularly important for species that require specific humidity conditions to mimic their natural habitat.

Accuracy: The accuracy of the thermometer and humidity gauge is important to ensure that you’re providing the right conditions for your animals. It’s recommended to periodically calibrate these devices to ensure accurate readings.

Placement: Proper placement of the dual thermometer and humidity gauge is essential. It should be positioned in a location within the terrarium that provides representative readings of the overall conditions, avoiding direct exposure to heat sources or water.

Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of the device are important to prevent dust and debris from affecting its accuracy. Additionally, check the batteries periodically to ensure consistent operation.

Compatibility: The Zoo Med Dual Thermometer and Humidity Gauge are designed to work with a variety of terrarium setups, making them suitable for different types of enclosures and animals.

Remember that different species have different temperature and humidity requirements, so it’s important to research the specific needs of the animals you’re keeping in your terrarium. This device can help you maintain the appropriate conditions and create a comfortable and healthy environment for your pets.
