Tortoise Cage Digital Thermometers

Video Transcript

"Personally I'm a big fan of the Digital Thermometers. We've just talked about and we're going to get in more depth with these here. Basically what this is, is this is going to go on the outside of the, of the enclosure. Ok, this is your reading device. And then it has two probes on the back that you're going to run into your enclosure. Ok, these probes are long and you can move, as you can see they're suction cupped backed so you can move them around and you can move them over and over again, to gauge any area of heat as you, and you, that you want in the enclosure. So they're very versatile. Secondly, they're easy to read with their big readouts and they also keep generally, a memory. Ok. And by hitting the memory button, what that will do is that will tell you the highest temperature it's recorded and the lowest temperature it's recorded. Now, that's important because you're not always home to read your temperatures. So, generally on a weekly basis, you can hit that memory button to see what the highest and lowest temperatures are and take a note. If they're getting extremely low, then you need to, at some point start monitoring your temperature and figure out when it's doing that and what you need to do to adjust that. Or it's getting too high. You need to also figure out a way to adjust that at that time of the day. So they are very helpful. The next thing we're going to talk about is placement of your thermometer. Again like I said, I like to have two thermometers in an enclosure, and for this we're going to use a Dial Thermometer just as a uh, as a example."
