Exo Terra Infra Red Thermometer PT2474 | Reptile Spot Thermometer

The ET Infra Red Thermometer PT2474 is a compact, handheld point-and-shoot thermometer designed for reptile keepers who need accurate surface temperature readings without disturbing their animals or setups. Aim it at any surface, press the button, and the temperature appears instantly on a large digital display — no probes, no contact, no fuss.

What You Can Measure

This thermometer is built for the full range of reptile keeping tasks. Use it to check basking spot temperatures, cool hides, hibernation areas, incubation media, and even your animal's body temperature directly. It's equally useful on field trips where on-the-spot readings are needed quickly and reliably.

Temperature Gradient Scanning

To map a temperature gradient across a vivarium, simply hold the button down — the thermometer will continuously read ambient temperature as long as it is pressed. Release the button and the last recorded temperature locks on the display, making it straightforward to log readings across different zones of the enclosure.

LED Targeting and Low-Light Use

A built-in LED targeting light marks the exact spot being measured and indicates the diameter of the measured surface area. This is particularly useful when checking temperatures inside hides, behind décor, or beneath foliage where visibility is limited — you can confirm you're measuring the right spot before taking the reading.

Lightweight and pocket-sized, the ET Infra Red Thermometer PT2474 is a practical tool for any keeper who takes temperature management seriously, whether at home or in the field.
