Zoo Med Precision Dual Thermometer/Humidity Gauge Review

Zoo Med Precision Dual Thermometer/Humidity GaugeThe best way to keep your box turtle healthy and happy is to keep his home at the right temperature and humidity. And keeping a thermometer and humidity guage in the habitat is the easiest way to keep an eye on those levels.

This precision thermometer/humidity gauge from Zoo Med displays both, making it quick and easy for you to get readings at a glance.

It’s a dial-type unit, not digital, so the readings may be less accurate than a digital one. But box turtles are less sensitive to minor variations than some other reptiles. So if you’re looking for a decent unit at a decent price, this may be all you need.

Please Note: This is not the Zoo Med Economy Thermometer/Humidity Gauge. Although that one seems very similar to this one, they are not the same item.
