Selected User Reviews For Reptology Reptile Hygrometer Humidity and Temperature Sensor Gauges
If you are buying these combination packs, they are great value for money, but there are a few things to take note of This is an example of how to cite "
" You cannot reposition the adhesive included if it is attached directly to the glass of your tank. It is very important to know where you are going to stick it before you do so. I'm exasperated. After shipping, it will probably be necessary to calibrate the hygrometer. You can find instructions on how to calibrate a hygrometer with salt and a bottle cap by searching online. Taking an overnight is simple, but it takes a lot of work. By about 5 points, my guess was off The back of the device can be adjusted using a small pair of pliers, giving an approximate 6% increase. I'm exasperated. It was accurate after shipping, but to calibrate it, it would need to be placed in a room that has an air temperature that is guaranteed to be exactly the same as the ambient temperature. The classic ice bath calibration method cannot be used on it because it is not equipped with a probe and its water-damaging properties mean that water will damage it. It will be necessary to use the pliers again to adjust the temperature. I'm exasperated. Ambient air temperature can be measured by making use of a thermometer. It's a good idea to buy more probe thermometers than just this one if you want to measure floors' temperatures at the surface. With this one, I was able to monitor the temperature of the cool side of the leopard gecko aquarium. Separate thermometers were used to track the air and floor temperatures on the hot side.
Using these sensors, I placed them on opposite ends of my Brazilian Rainbow Boa's aquarium in different parts of the tank to monitor the temperature and humidity. Any BRB that has been owned should be kept in a humid and warm An aquarium of this size would probably be around 20 gallons Since he is a baby, the most he can drink is 25 gallons. When I placed them in the aquarium and monitored them for a while, I found that the humidity readings I had between the two were off, and not by a few percentage points, so I had no idea whether the cage was humid enough, or humid enough. There shouldn't be much difference in humidity from one end to another of such a small aquarium. I managed to get a reading for a few weeks in this humid environment, but after a few weeks the sensors on the inside began to fog up, so I was not able to get a The adhesive backing used eventually broke down, allowing the sensors to fall to the bottom, as part of the review has already indicated. These gauges may be useful in a relatively dry environment, but if you have a reptile or other animal that needs high humidity, you should find another solution.
Don't waste it. There is really no other way to mount them other than adhesion. A paper card quickly fogs up and becomes unreadable, and compared to a digital card, it is totally.
Although I'd like to think they worked decently, I'd not know since they fell off the side of the tank very quickly. The only way to keep them on the tank was to throw them out since I didn't know how to keep them.
It has an adhesive rather than suction cups, but it does exactly what we need it to. It is still not bad for the cost and does what it should do- We monitor the humidity and temperature in the tank home to our baby corn snakes.
used their stickers to attach the stickers to the wood to mount them in my baby tortoise enclosure, and they hold and stick great! As a double check, I even checked it with another thermometer and it was close to being accurate! I'm very satisfied with the price, too!.
I give it 4 stars only because they would have been perfect with a suction cup. The sticky pads in my tank always lose their stickiness after a while, and I always find them on the bottom of the tank. I think the humidity is too high in the tank. I don't mind their rant at all, but they seem to give relatively accurate readings compared to the electronic hygrometers and thermometers I.
Cleaning the glass with alcohol and letting it dry is what I did Despite the peel and stick deals they come with, these STILL won't stay up there for long. I see them in the upper part of the tank for several weeks, then I find them at the bottom No matter what you do, they just fall apart it seems that the adhesive breaks There is no easy way to install the gauges in the tank, but you may have to find another method to install them. Due to their low costs, these are a good choice, no matter what their issues may be.
