This morning my nephew call me and asked if I can come over and take a look at a new bearded dragon he bought. I noticed he was using the Hydrofarm thermostat for his UTH (he provides both basking and floor) and I just had to check how accurate the reading is. Well these are the results:

Hydrofarm probe reading- 95f
Digital thermometer probe- 88f
Temp gun- 89f

Obviously the reading on the Hydrofarm is quite off. This can lead to serious issues such as under heating or burns or a gecko avoiding the hide. So moral of the story, make sure that you compare the thermostat temp using at least 2 other thermometers for accuracy. ]]> Herp Products cricket4u http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/herp-products/69224-hydrofarm-thermostat.html
