I was just wondering what everyone thought of the Exo Terra Digital Thermometer and Hygrometer and Exo Terra Digital Thermometer ??
I seem to be not having much luck with them, I have 6 and they all seem to read at different temps/humidity levels, even when together - just wondering if this is my bad luck, or if this is a common problem? If so what does everyone else suggest using! I have all my heat mats connected to Habistats, so I know that my snakes are in no danger of been over/under heated, but like to keep an eye on the tank gradients too.
Thank you  |

I find that the bedding plays apart on the temp side say if it's covering abit of the probe when the snakes moves it over it
It will read higher

| They will all read slightly differently. Not a million miles out from each other though. I noticed this straight away, bought them switched them on, sittin in the room and .3 of a degree out from each other. Its amazing how cheap and flimsy they are though, dont be rough with them or they die, I am planning on getting more expensive ones when my vivstack is done, they are just too flimsy to tacky for my liking. (They do the job though). |

| Yes, I agree that they are not too far out, I also have a laser temp gauge to verify the temps, the gauges do read a bit less but they are situated 8 inches from the base and set further towards the center to ensure they are measuring the air temp and not the direct radiated heat from the emitter. |
