liquid crystal thermometers

[Peter Williams]

i just bought 2 exo terra LC thermometers, and im planning on putting one on the warm side, and one on the cold side, now the box says can be put inside or outside, i dont really think it would get an accurate reading if it were outside the tank. What are your thoughts on what i should do?

Maybe it means indoors or outdoors? Do those thermometers have probes?

[Peter Williams]

no its those sticker-like ones, and it says "can be placed inside or outside the terrarium"

[Aric]

get your money back on those and go get a digital thermometer. The stick on ones are junk.

[Peter Williams]

these are just backup, should i put them in the terrarium or not? i was thinking near the bottom at the back

[Aric]

should i put them in the terrarium or not?

You could but they wont do any good, like I said before they are JUNK.

[Peter Williams]

ya ur right man, i put it (not like pushed in on really hard) but i just slightly had it sticking on and if you take it off it totally ruins it

[Peter Williams]

the heating pad i also bought isnt working at all, its been plugged in for at least 30 mins and hasnt heated up the littlest bit, theres no on/off switch or anything

yeah. the UTH is probably broken if it doesn't heat up...
