Can anyone recommend a type of thermometer for use in a perspex snail tank? Since I guess it has to be inside the tank, one that won't mind being covered in slime would help. And with no sharp edges.
Also I'd like to get my hands on a decent type of heat mat. Can you get ones with integral thermostats, that are able to be stuck on the side of the tank (don't want to cook the beasties!)?
cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
my heat mat is made by Habistat, you can get them on line and I am quite sure they have their own website too.
I keep my heat mat on the outside of the tank, and my tank is quite large, it definately gives sufficient heat too.
As for thermometer, I have one stuck on the front of my tank (a basic thermal one) - gives a rough idea of what the temp inside is.
What snails will you be keeping?

I always use Habistat heat mats as well, they are really reliable, Habistat also do a thermometer which you stick on the inside and they only cost £1.60 both items I get on ebay from The Cornish Crispa Co.
