digital aquarium thermometer

[brum]

hi,bit of a silly question but just wanted to know if it was ok to use a digital aquarium thermometer in my viv as it was the only one i could get,looks the same as the reptial ones and has the probe but not sure if they are designed to work best submerged in water.

temperature is temperature, the only real way to tell is to get another cheap thermometer and make sure they are reading close to the same, light often makes thermometers read high from my experience so best to establish your ambient temps first and then check and double check your basking temps

just get the cheap one from Lowes garden section (probably cheaper than the aquarium one too).
You don't really need the specific reptile thermometer.

Hope that helps.
