Zoo Med Digital Aquatic Turtle Thermometer

It started off good and only got better! I was in need of an aquatic thermometer for my turtley awsome dudes! Green just happens to be my favorite color so when I came across this product I thought I would give it a shot. I have never had any problems with the product slipping from the hole as said in another review. The thermometer has been great; accurate and reliable since day one. It even comes with a replacement battery for when the battery goes dead.

The product works great just like it is suppose too. One flaw that I found was that the thermometer likes to float out of the hole that keeps it attached to the suction cup. Turtle tanks can get dirty, and a little slimy (even though I clean mine every week). The slime build up makes it slippery inside of the hole and the thermometer wants to come loose.

Alright so I just ordered this because seeing as am getting 2 baby turtles I need my water temp. to be correct. I gotit after reading the mixed reviews, it sounded like something I needed and it was digital.

Mine came early, but the reason why I have a problem with it was because it was supposed to come with a battery...it didnt at all. I ordered a replacement, and that one was also without a battery.. Maybe 3rd times the charm, I am a huge fan of zoomed, but this product is pissing mee off.

At the moment, I still dont know how it works seeing as I cant use it.

easy to read, stays in place, and my turtle likes perching himself on it to relax. i might even buy one for outside of the water.

Ok, so i didn't buy this on Amazon, but i bought it locally at Pets-mart and wanted to warn everyone of my experience with this product.

When i first got the thermometer back in December 4 months ago, it seemed to be working, and i was able to hold my tank temp around 78F. Then the tank temperature gradually started to get colder, so i thought one of my heaters started going bad (although they felt warm when i briefly removed them from the tank). So I ordered a 150W heater from amazon and installed it. I set-up the heater and adjusted it to 80F and left it overnight. When i checked on it in the morning, the tank had went from 64F to 68F... so I left for work hoping it just needed more time to reach temp. When i got home the tank was only at 72F and over the next day or so it didnt move. I temporarily pointed a space heater at the tank to augment the deficient heaters, but the temperature barely went up. I decided to clean the tank that weekend and im glad i did. When i removed the thermometer and set it on the table next to the tank, the temperature reading showed 40F!!! I replaced the battery and same issue. My basement is around 65F, so that means i probably had my tank at 95F+ for 4 days! So far my turtle seems to be ok, but I'm lucky i didnt kill the old guy.

If you decide to buy this product, make sure you have a 2nd temperature measuring device in the tank. I'm starting to get the impression that ZooMed stuff is junk... the floating turtle platforms are another example.
