Smile thermometer!

What kind of thermometers does everyone use?
At the moment I have a couple of exoterra ones and I feel that they are not that accurate.

Cheers
Pete

I have a few different types for different reasons. This is the one I use over all, I only look at the probe setting though ............





And this one is a wireless one that use in the house to see what the temps are in the outside enclosure, this one is not as accurate but it give you a good idea of whats happening outside with in a degree or two.



And the last one which I love to play around with zapping everything lol. It comes in handy for checking the temperature's on your torte and its great for setting up the basking lamp heights.....



Its real accurate according to several different tests done on other forums. I bought mine from maplins and would advise everyone to get one when they are on special offer.



I paid £20 for mine on special offer they are normally double that price.
