Thermometer/Hygrometer Recommendation

Hello, heavy posting day for me today I guess.

So I am officially in the market for a new thermometer/hygrometer. I had one of the crap cheap ones that are actually for humidors I think, just to tide me over. It died this morning. All my heat sources are regulated and I constantly monitor them with my IR thermometer but I need a more accurate way to monitor the humidity and ambient. I know a lot of folks here use Accu-Rite but they have SO many different kinds!! Could any of y'all hook me up with some links to the model you prefer? Just a little bit overwhelmed here on Amazon lol.

I have a few of these....

As far as I can tell the display is the only difference. They certainly do the trick.

Here is the one I have. I kept it in my kitchen for several days before I put it in the tank and tested the probe temp with my temp gun. It was within 1 degree each time I checked it. I have no way to see if the humidity side of it is accurate but it appears to work because it goes up and down when I cover or uncover the tank and when I mist it it goes up to around 80 and as me CHE is running it will drop down over the day or two. So I assume it is close as well.

Hmmm I like the idea of the probes so I dont have to keep the main unit inside the enclosure. I worry about it falling over on her if she bumps it. But the accurite is a bit cheaper... I did get the idea to hang it up with a zip tie from some thread on here some where...

is the magnet on the back something to be concerned about, adhesive-wise?

No, no issue with the magnet. And don't worry about them hurting the snake, they're super light. They do get knocked over and pushed around sometimes tgough, I will say that.

I do know of plenty of people who use the probed ones and like them. I originally started with the ones I use so I didn't have to put any more holes in my enclosures and I just stuck with them.

I think i am gonna go with that one then. I have a bin setup so I already have holes in the side if I need them lol, but that one is cheaper and I just like the look of it the best. Probably will use a ziptie to secure it to the side tho, just in case lol.
