What are the best thermal imagers to use in the study of insectivores, rodents and carnivorous mammals in soil horizons? The ability to detect herpetocomplex with a thermal imager in natural shelters?
In zoology and ornithology we used FLIR T530 TM IR thermal imaging camera, in oeder to recorded temperture of species.
May be, you can adjusting this camera to your studies (mainly for the mammals).
