Ok, so we all know that providing the correct temperatures for our reptiles is very important, and the thermometers on the market aren't great unless you shell out huge amounts of money.

I'm an electrical engineering major in college, and I've been looking into building my own thermometers to use in my enclosures. I think that I can make thermometers that fit our needs as reptile owners better (more accurate, more probes, and hopefully for around the same price as whats on the market today)

I wanted to get some input on what people want in a thermometer and what price they would be willing to pay.

Here are a few points that I would like to focus on, but any input is greatly appreciated.

  • number of probes
  • accuracy prefered
  • form factor (size, shape)
  • What to display and what type of display is preferred
  • price
