    Are Magnets Safe?
    Hi there! I just replaced the thermo/hydrometers in Fírnen’s glass enclosure, and I had a question about them. The back of each thermo/hydrometer is magnetic, so I used a couple of strong magnets to attach them to the glass. Here’s a picture of one of them:

    Is there any way that Fírnen could injure himself with them? Maybe pinching himself with the magnets? Thanks for your replies in advance.

    I would think they'd be quite safe, much better than the stick-on kinds. I don't foresee a snake getting pinched...even if he pushed hard against this, I think it will
    only just slide around & be a little crooked. I think it's a good idea, actually. :gj:

    I've done magnets for geckos and while searching for strong enough ones, my weaker ones tended to just let it fall off when pushed on instead of sliding around. So I think the worst you might have happen is the thermometer falling down if the magnets shift away from each other enough when moved.

    But I can't really see any way that it could pinch or otherwise be an issue. Those thermometers don't weigh that much either, so falling a few inches is probably no big deal anyway.
