It substantially reduces feeding-response strikes in food-motivated species such as pythons.

A gauge tells you the temperature after the fact; it cannot switch a heat source off. Every heat mat, ceramic emitter and basking lamp needs a thermostat of the correct type wired between it and the power point. Running a heat source unthermostatted because a thermometer is fitted is the most common cause of burns and heat stress in captive reptiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to mount it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat it tells you\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWorth doing?\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCool end, at animal height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhether the cool end is genuinely cool enough for the animal to escape the heat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — the most important single reading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarm end, at animal height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmbient warm-end air, not the basking surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — pair with the cool-end gauge for the gradient\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInside the hide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe temperature the animal actually spends most of its day in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, if the hide is large enough\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirectly under the basking lamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadiant heat on the gauge body, not room air — reads high and misleads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn the glass in direct sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolar gain on the gauge, not enclosure air\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e glass and PVC terrariums, snake tubs and racks, bearded dragon and gecko enclosures, tortoise tables, amphibian and invertebrate setups — anywhere you want a permanent, unpowered read on ambient air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e measuring basking surface temperature, measuring heat mat surface temperature, submerged or in-water use in an aquatic turtle tank, or as any part of a temperature control system.

A gauge mounted high near a vent reads the room air, and a gauge sitting under a basking lamp is warmed by the lamp and reads artificially dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow accurate is it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZoo Med does not publish an accuracy tolerance for the TH-21, so it should be read as an indicative instrument rather than a calibrated one. For its actual job — spotting that an enclosure has drifted drier or wetter than it was last month — that is enough. If a species has a narrow critical requirement, verify against a second gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy does the reading jump after I mist?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is measuring the air correctly.
