Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I recently bought a thermal camera at work and thought I would bring it home and see the thermal pattern of my snake rack. I used to have a very large rack setup and checking each individual cage was a big pain in the a$$. These cameras allow you to scan the whole room at once. I wentto pick up some frozen rats and the guy I get them from also runs a pet shop, I brought the camera in and you could see the different temps of all the fish tanks with one guick scan.

Here are some pics that should interest anyone that keeps cold blooded animals and needs to monitor a temp gradient.

This one you can see the snake pulling the heat from the back of the tub through its circulatory system into the cool end of the tub.

I love this camera. Let me know if you have any questions on these cameras. They are sooooo useful for reptile keeping.

Too bad they are so expensive...I'd have one in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

5 or 6 years ago I bought a model for another co. and they were $4K I just bought this one that is 10X's better and it was only $2K but I saw some basic ones for $1500. Like everything else, the prices of tech drops predictably each year. They'll be within the average persons income within a few years.
