Thermometer and hygrometer

Thermometers and hygrometers: keep an eye on your terrarium

You can only fine-tune what you measure. Thermometers and hygrometers give you real-time temperature and humidity, from the warm zone to the cool zone, so you can adjust every parameter.

Why measure temperature in two places?

A reptile needs a gradient: the warm zone is for basking and digestion, the cool zone for rest. Two probes let you check the difference stays within the values suited to the species.

How do I monitor my terrarium’s humidity?

A hygrometer shows the air’s humidity level, essential for tropical species and for successful sheds. Checking it daily lets you quickly correct air that is too dry or too damp.

Our AnimalParadise monitoring range

• Thermometers : probes and dials to read the temperature of the warm and cool zones.
• Hygrometers : instruments to check the ambient humidity level.
• Combined stations : digital devices showing temperature and humidity on a single screen.

The AnimalParadise expert tip: place one probe at the hot spot and another on the cool side: it is the only way to confirm your thermal gradient is correct.

Our measuring instruments are calibrated and shipped across Europe for precise monitoring from day one.
