    Thermometer

    How do you read those stick on black thermometers?

    My friends gave a little bigger terrarium(I think 15 gal?) that they don't use and it has the thermometers already on it on both sides, but it has 3 different squares that are "lit up" or "colored" at one time, so I don't know what the real temp actually is.....

    Re: Thermometer

    It's only a guess but I would think it's the highest temp. shown.
    The lower temps. just show up as a gradient temp. view.

    If I'm wrong I should have kept my mouth shut.

    Those ones aren't very accurate.You'd be better off with a digital one.

    I think those stick on thermometers were mostly designed for people who keep fish IMO, btw nondigital = analog

    Re: Thermometer

    That's the word!!! I knew there was a word....and I knew, I knew it....it just escaped me at the time!


    I'm not really going to use the stick ons as my main way of keeping track of the temp., they just happen to already be there, and I can't get them off! So I figured I may as well see if anyone knew how they worked

    This is the best I can get, at least for now. His cage is on a shelf type of thing with a ledge all the way around and I have to use my laptops cam for now to get pics so its hard to get a better one.
