Re: Acurite thermometer failure
It probably has something to do with needing the old packaging so they just took the new packaging instead. Walmart has weird policies.
Re: Acurite thermometer failure
Same thing happened to me last year (between October and November sometime). I take my ball python out to hold, thermometer's fine. Come back, blank. I've tried replacing it with several different batteries.. no go. Gotta get a move on that warranty! New animal on Sunday, if all goes well, you know. ;)
Good thing you got a new one.

If that's not the case try using the warranty if it's not too old.
That's true....I forgot about THAT happening. :oops: :rolleyes: Precious literally spilled his entire water bowl over his, and it "shorted out"...dead as a door nail....... So I replaced it w/a newer one I had on hand.....a day or two later I noticed the soaked one was working again. Sheesh.....but at least I didn't have to go out and BUY one! :carrot::rolleye2:
