Disclaimer: I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Having two tortoises of my own (pictures below), I have always worried about the amount of warmth they are receiving when they are inside their enclosures. I have read up about probe thermometers, in which one can accurately test the temperature of the substrate. The issue is that the highly rated ones are super expensive, and I was worried that they would break easily.
And thus, I stumbled upon this product.
This product arrived in a super tiny box, and had a very vague set of instructions. It wasn't very detailed, and I skimmed through it before I dumped it away somewhere and lost it.
There are only 3 buttons on this machine. Quite simple.
Max/min seems to show a record of the highest and lowest temps it recorded.
C/F: alternates between Celsius and Fahrenheit
In/out measures the temps inside and outside of substrate??
Back of thermometer with a clip and compartment for an AAA battery. Battery not included.
I don't even know what this is for.......
Other probe that I use to stick into the substrate
Huge mess of wires......Total con of this product right here.
So does it work? I think it does. I mean, I am getting different temps at different times, though sometimes the temperatures may be slow to change.
There's a lot of ambiguity for me in terms of how some of the buttons are to be used, as well as that funky probe thing...
Another con is that there is NO on/off button, meaning this thing will stay forever on until your battery dies. Not exactly battery friendly. I have used it for a week and it is still working though.
Would I buy this again? Probably not? I mean I think it is useful but I found myself not even really looking at it.
