Hello, I went to the local walmart and couldnt find the unit that everyone seems to recomend. Does anyone have any other recomendations. I need to get some decent equipment. Thanks for the help

i use the flukers digital thermometer/hygrometer(i think it was about $14). you can get them at pets'mart. i also use the zoo med digital thermometer with probe, also at pets'mart(about $6).

If your WalMart is out of the Acu-Rite's (ask them to check tho, sometimes they are hard to find) I know that Lowe's and Home Depot sell an almost identical unit for about the same price though under a different brand name. If you need it I think I have a picture of an Acu-Rite that Bryce posted if you don't know what they look like exactly.

Make sure you look in the hardware section at Wal-Mart. It's not anywhere CLOSE to the pet section. Just look where the electrical isle is... it's right near that at my local Wal-Mart. Ask someone where the indoor/outdoor thermometers are... you'll find 'em.

Or you may need to check another Wal-Mart. They just opened a new Super WalMart by me, and that's the first thing I looked for. They had everything else, but not the Acu-Rite (well, they had Acu-Rite, but it was a 2 or 3 piece unit, pretty bulky). I'm going to go back to the original Wal-Mart I purchased from to pick up some more.

You can also find the Acc-Rites on Ebay. As such...

Hehe, they are selling them at both of my nearby WalMarts for $11 a pop. I have... let's see... 5 of them? Two without hygrometers though, but what the hay.


Just search around a bit at Wally World, you'll fine them. More than likely they are in the indoor/outdoor thermometer section. I tend to not trust anything from the pet store, except maybe crickets(but then those from Petco are a little dicey, bleh).

check in the home section, around the light bulbs,paint, power tools areas.

The walmart im referring to is a newly opened super walmart. Maybe they dont have it there. I'll look around near the pain section and around harware a little more. If they dont have it then i guess its a 20 minute ride out to the other walmart to try my luck. THanks for the help everyone!

If you can acutally find someone that works there, ask them to take you to the outdoor thermometer section. It's usually in the paint/hardware section. Good luck.
