For accurate ambient air readings, use a dedicated ambient thermometer or your thermostat's probe alongside this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it to check my heat lamp's basking spot?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — this is exactly what it's designed for. Point it at the basking surface your reptile actually lies on, not at the bulb itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat battery does it use, and is one included?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne CR2032 lithium button-cell battery, included in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it for incubation checks?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, for spot-checking the surface of an incubation container. For the incubation medium itself, pair it with a proper substrate probe — infrared only reads the outer surface it's pointed at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacked by the standard Zoo Med manufacturer warranty against faults, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZooMed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54773928395043,"sku":"ZM299","price":87.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/ZM299_10.png?v=1782882421","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/zoo-med-reptitemp-infrared-thermometer","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
