Thermal Binoculars Recommendations

Looking for recommendations for thermal binoculars with a budget of $200. Gift for someone who camps a lot and just wants to peek into the woods and watch the raccoons and armadillos play.
I'm a bit green on thermal vs night vision. So if night vision is more appropriate, give me those suggestions too.
Thanks!

unfortunately there is nothing in the thermal game with that price.
A thermal monocular will be a little more than that.
I have no experience with these but:
Scheel's ATN Thermal monocular
Nightvision will be closer to what you can get for $200 but not sure you can get there either.

I'd look into Night Vision. Only thermal binoculars I've looked through worth a damn are the Pulsar Mergers

Man I am sorry, but . Did you even spend 30 seconds on Google? Triple that price is entry level for a monocular (not binoculars) but honestly kind of crappy performance. Resolution will be very low and the field of vision is going to suck. I already spent $700 on a mistake myself.
Also, I don’t know how much value there is in binoculars. You’re looking at a screen so you don’t get the benefit of depth perception like in regular binoculars. My advice would be to stick to a monocular.
Look to spend about $1500 on a half decent one that you won’t hate. Look to spend about $2500 on one you (or your friend) would actually like.
All my stuff is ATN, but Pulsar I’ve read is comparable or better but more expensive.

Not going to happen. Decent thermal monoculars are north of $1k.
I'm not sure you'll even find digital night vision near $200.

200 bucks barely gets you a usable pair of regular binoculars
