bearded dragon

my mate has just got a bearded dragon and i was wondering what sort of thermometer should he be useing?? i know he need's to have two one for the cool side and one for the hot side.... but which thermometer is it coz he has got a strip one that stick to the back of the viv .. and i dont think thats right

Any digital thermometer that has 2 temp readings would be fine. He can just use the same type of thermometers as most people use for there leos

so a probe thermometer and put it where the bearded dragon bask's? do you really need to have one for the cool end?? its a 3 foot viv the same as i have so i think it would be fine on the cool end

Yup a probe thermometer right at the basking area would be just fine and Yea you certainly should be fine on the cool end with out one in a 3 foot Viv.

I have a digital probe thermometer for mine. I love this thermometer:

You can get it at Walmart for $12, and it tells you the hot side, cool side, and the humidity too. I use it for my beardie and my leo!

@ Jess LOL i use the exact same ones in all of my VIVs but i only paid $3 a piece for all of mine at lowes. When i saw them i bought i think 7 or 8 just because they were so cheap and they work Great. I still have 1 sitting on the shelf Brand new in the package

You got them for $3?! LOL, I would stock up on them too! They are awesome thermometers!

yeah thats good but i dont have a wallmart in england and i got one coming from sam off here anyways x

Well you could always take a trip to Germany Sarah i know there is a walmart there ive shopped at it

oh god no im ok in england lol x

is ASDA not owned by the company that own Wallmart? I'm sure it is! maybe they will have them in ASDA

ASDA was so like wal-mart it was freaky. I went to england a few years ago and went to asda. Its weird O_O LOL

Those strip ones aren't very accurate even if the basking area doesn't need to be monitored, (like if just the air temp needed monitoring).

wow it's awesome that you got to go to England.. where abouts did you visit? ASDA is owned by the company that created/own wal-mart

dose anyone know would this heat lamp be ok for a bearded dragon at night jst to keep the temps up so it dont get below 65f?

I went to Liverpool, Manchester, London, and a bunch of places I dont remember LOL. XD We went to Alton Towers, that was cool. We visited family mostly, but did a lot of sightseeing too. We went 2006, so I was I think 11 or 12. XD

I live near Manchester 50 min train ride away
wow.. bet you had an awesome time!

It was OK. LOL.
I was really sick when we went, so I felt sick a lot of the time. But I did have fun. We went camping LOL, and that was probably my favourite part - there was eight of us in a tent made for like 4 people XD.
I loved that area, I found it really nice. My cousin runs a hair salon in Liverpool.
Oh another thing I LOVED, was the beatles museum. AWESOME!

@Mrs Looney yes that should be just fine but i would put it on a Rheostat or Thermostat to better control the temps

ok cool thank you x
