acu rite humidity and temperature controler

so since those stick on anologs temperature/humidity gages are garbage i went and got one of those indoor/outdoor/humidity digital gages and idk understand how it measures the temps/hum with one probe so does anyone have this and if so were should the probe go for in my set up

The probe is out side temp. The unit itself has temp and humidity gauge inside for the inside temp

You put the probe under the hot side hide, put the unit itself on the cool side. The probe will measure hot side temps as "Outside" and cool side temps and humidity as "Inside".

EDIT: Also wanted to clarify, the Accu-rite is not a temperature CONTROLLER as your post title states. The accu-rite is a thermoMETER, only used to measure temps, not to control them.

ok so put the probe on the hot side in the cage?? and does the unit itself have to be toward the bottom of the cage at the snakes level

Or you could do THIS.

Here is how I have mine which works great for me the probe is under the paper towel under the hot hide:)

Probe on the hot side under the hide. The unit itself is the cool side thermometer. It should really be on the floor of the enclosure as well since that is the temperature you want to measure.

ok cool thanks for the help everyone
