Whats your emergency overheating protocol?

[ConcinusMan]

I would like to explore the idea of an audible alarm still though if anyone has one or knows of one.

The springfield remote thermometers have an alarm you can set at a min/max set points, but they obviously won't do any good if you're not home to hear it. I've heard of ones that connect to the internet, or call your mobile phone, but they're spendy. Not really worth the investment unless thousands of dollars in reptiles are at stake.

Anyway, I have two of these base stations, (a slightly different model than the one in the link) each set to a different frequency, and up to 4 probes/remote locations can be monitored per station. I like them. They've worked out well. Well worth the price. They come with one remote but you can buy more sold separately. I set it so that a rather loud alarm goes off if temps go out of the range I set. One winter, this kept snakes brumating in the garage from freezing. Also lets me see the temp at a glance without going out there. Each satellite has a probe you can plug into it, then run it into your tanks. The satellite itself sits nearby, outside of the tanks. Unplug the probe, and the satellite just reads the air temperature wherever it's sitting.

I'm liking this thermometer which I got from Amazon.co.uk, but I can't see it available on Amazon.com -
max min digital thermometer - with in out sensor & high low alarm - ideal for greenhouses & grow rooms: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

The temps are accurate to within 1C on both probes (external probe is slightly better from my calibration tests). The thing I like most about the unit is that I can set a max and min alarm. I got it when I planned to brumate this winter to monitor brumation temps. It's a great unit if you can find it available.
