Are they accurate thru the glass window? or do i have to open it before taking the temp?
Thanks
You have to open the glass, otherwise it will measure the temperature of the glass and not the enclosure or reptile (whatever you happen to be measuring. I have also testing this by measureing the same spot through the glass and with it open and there was a big difference. You should always open the glass.
