can this item be used in dry environment such as a turtle basking site?

I don't see why not. It's able to stand on it's own, and its really just a regular thermometer with the special weighted base. The only issue I can imagine is that it could be knocked over if not out of reach of the animals.

Yes it could as it has a standing bottom, they might knock it over though and not sure if it would be an accurate ambient temp reading then

Should be fine but be careful not to bury it in sand/gravel as you would in an aquatic tank. The bulb on this unit is at the base and if you bury it in your substrate too deep you won't get an accurate measurement of the air temperature which is what you want. You would probably be better off getting a thermometer that can be mounted or suspended off the ground.

Yes. The thermometer is fully contained inside the tube and not in contact with the external environmnet. One is in use in a shaded area of a greenhouse right now. It will probably get dirty and need occasional rinsing though.

Yes, she probably can. It is a very soft mat with loose fiber. I was going to use it for frogs but determined that they could probably get the fibers loose, so I covered it with cedar mulch. Indoor outdoor carpeting might work for a turtle. They may have a turtle safe product.

Yes! The ability to work in damp location is a bonus. It will work just as well in a dry location! Great quiet fan!

You could, but I would not use it in areas exposed to the elements. It may be fine, but it does not feel like it is made to be water proof.

It is not water proof. Yes you would need something in the bottom for a water proof surface

I would assume not. It's a suede-type material. Definitely wouldn't do well if it got wet.

I would only set it up on grass, or like a floor would be fine, I wouldn't recommend setting it up on tar or gravel. Unless you could find some type of mat/protection for the bottom..

If the leaves are dry, it should do fine...and leave the stone undisturbed. I have used it for this purpose with little, if any, problem.

I don't see why not. Certainly depends on what it is you require. I use for tortoise habitat and it works well for that. Obviously different than your potential use.

Possibly, it is made with a lot of plastic, and is a wall mounted item. If you mount it about 6' off the floor, under a patio roof, not screen, you should get a lot of use out of it. So to clearify, DAMP = yes / WET = no. I hope this is helpful.

I have no knowledge of such usage. I doubt that it would work because this product is rendered ineffective if it is moistened.

Absolutely. As long as the material using it on is dry the should be no problem.

I don't know if you can use it for turtles, but it cannot be horizontal. The top of the heater must be poking out of the water so it can not be submerged horizontally.

No it won't work, it's not sturdy and there is no lining that u can take out and clean. So if it gets damp there is no way of drying it

It would probably be okay, but I would make sure it wouldn't be where rain could get to it. I know the specs say it can be used outdoors, but I wouldn't chance it getting wet. Also, your USB cable has to be plugged in to a USB port within 25'.

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

I think so. I don't think the humidity would do anything to it at all. It's just like a regular drum set, but smaller.
