Gradient Reading:
Ideally, reptiles should be offered a heat gradient (i.e. terrarium is warmest on one side and gradually cools towards the other). If using only one thermometer, always make sure this is placed in the middle of the heat gradient zone and not in the warmest or coolest area of your terrarium. In larger terrariums it is best to add additional thermometers in each temperature zone of the gradient (i.e. warmest, medium, coolest).

Helpful Hints:
Zoo Med's Precision Analog Reptile Thermometers allow you to accurately read and monitor the temperature in your reptile's terrarium. Improper temperature is the leading cause of stress and illness in captive reptiles. Ideally, all tropical-type reptiles should be kept between 80-90°F in order to properly digest their food. Tropical-type reptiles should never be kept below 80°F. Desert-type reptiles and green iguanas should be kept at 85-95°F during daylight hours with temperatures dropping to 80-85°F at night. Remember that temperature requirements vary among individual species.
