SH108 – LCD remote thermometer

This non-contact LCD thermometer is intended for keepers of reptiles and amphibians who need to check temperatures across the whole enclosure, not only at a single probe point. Because hot spots, basking areas and hiding places can differ noticeably from one spot to another, it lets you verify each of them without placing any device inside the terrarium.

Why it matters

• Measurement at 2–13 cm: the infrared sensor reads the temperature of a surface from a short distance, covering substrate, branches, rocks and shelters.
• 0.1 °C resolution: small differences between a basking spot and a cooler zone are visible on the display.
• Result in 0.85 seconds: aim the head at another surface and the reading updates almost immediately, so you can compare several points in a few seconds.
• No probe placement: you do not need to put a sensor into the enclosure, which means no extra disturbance for the animal during checks.

What it works with

The thermometer is suited to reptile and amphibian terraria where temperature gradients matter, since it measures surfaces point by point across the enclosure. Its short working distance of 2–13 cm means it is best used for enclosures that can be reached with the hand or the device at close range. It is a measuring tool only and does not regulate heating, so it is used alongside your existing heating and thermostat equipment.
