Oh ok thanks .. I just went to thier website I didn't find the exact ones but I hope if I just call around to differentvones to find em

I have never found accurites to be any better than any other cheap one. Finding a half way decent thermometer is difficult. My suggestion is never trust 1 or 2 but check a few (3-5) against each other and use the ones that are the same. With this in mind I use ones like this...

I bought 20 or so and ended up keeping 12 that were with in 1 degree of each other (and correct temp) The other 8 I gave away.

Humidity I use these... http://www.amazon.com/Analog-Hygrome...2152840&sr=8-1

There are copies of this around but at not much cost difference so I tend to buy this particular one. What to look for is a metal face card NOT paper, and a calibration screw. They are very tough and tolerant of dirt and junk that digital units are not. (I fished one out of a water bowl after being fully submerged and after drying out and a salt test I found it to be still in 5% RH for accuracy.) Make sure that it is not a hair spring type but a bi metal the hair ones are far too sensitive to dirt.

The only issues I have ever had is the magnetic disk sucks and the metal disk it connects to is not well glued. I usually replace the magnet and re-glue the disk. Or just tack it inside the tub with a dap of hot melt.
