    Best Thermometer and Humidity gauges?
    Hello, I know a lot of you use the Accurite Thermometers, but they don't seem to sell them anymore? Does anyone have a link to somewhere I could buy one or any good alternatives? I'm using a zoo med one right now to hold off until I find something better.


    (side question: my ball python seems to move around a lot at night, he seems to want to get out. the temps and humidity look good , is he hungry? I just got him this Tuesday, should I try feeding him tomorrow?)

    AcuRite on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-00891...qid=1475789366

    I've heard WalMart carries them as well, but I haven't looked for myself.

    Could you post a pic of your setup and some more details about the equipment you're using? It's tough to diagnose just based on your little blurb at the end. Could be nothing - could be something. :gj:

    +1 for that.

    I know some walmarts may, but I'm not 100% sure that it's the one with the cord.

    Thanks for the quick reply!! So it doesn't have to be the black one I'm always seeing people use?

    and Oh! here's a video of his setup, I added his water bowls and stuffed his hides with paper towels. he has an under tank heater but it doesn't get very hot so I bought a ceramic heating bulb for him until the new pad and thermostat get here, I have one on his hot side along with a uv light to help keep the temperature up and a smaller one on his cold side to keep it at around 80.

    No. Those analog ones are inaccurate as far as my testing went. The zoomed ones and all that which are digital seem to be okay with accuracy but the price. I'll pass and get something I know I can trust for a reasonable price.
