Re: * Anyone have this? *
Yes it has a probe to record the temps under the "Outside" bar. On the gauge it can be set for top temp inside and then temps "Outside" ( the one w/ the probe and cord)and then the bottom is for humidity.
You can set the gauge on one end of the cage and then run the probe to the other side or stick under a hide or however you set up your cage. The probe actually has a little sticky on it.
I notice that one says it has a stand, don't use the stand. A few years ago someone on here had the stand up in the cage and there snake got caught in it and was choking. ( anyone remember that ? ) So prop it up or I use two small pcs of 2 side sticky tape.

Ummmmm...yes. I mean...not EVERYone uses a thermostat, but most people do. Anyone using any sort of under-tank-heating source should have it controlled with a reliable t-stat. At the very least, you should have a rheostat (lamp dimmer) so you can control by hand how much heat is put out. Otherwise, they can get hot enough to seriously burn your snake and/or damage the enclosure it is attached to.

Most of us use both. The thermostat controls the temps, and a thermometer will only measure or read the temps.

How are you going to control the temps on your bulbs without one? :confused:

That negates a lot of outside factors which will affect temperatures. What if the room gets hot or cold? How will ur bulb adjust for such common everyday factors without a tstat?
