New Thermo/Hygro with Probe $12!!!

Usually when I mist I try to get the whole cage; is this not necessary??

Well... mine survives misting the cage. It, however, did not survive a dip into the water bowl.

How do you mist your cage?

Ha that sounds stupid, but do you spray the whole cage or just one part?

I have a spray bottle and I just spray the whole tank. The contraption there is against the back wall in the middle and its taken a couple direct sprays and still works. With my second one (the first one, as mentioned, took a dip into the water bowl) I avoid spraying it directly (as in right in the screen) but mist the whole tank.

Thanks.

I'm asking because I had a Taylor thermo/hygro that blacks out when I spray it.

Really a pain in the buttocks when after spraying your really want to know your humidity.

A few of mine have survived dunks in the waterbowl and bowl tip-overs. Just open them up and let everything dry out for awhile. Replace the battery and see how it is. On some, numbers are partially gone, but you can still tell what the temp is.

DutchHerp, I'm in Waco, just come on up and I'll show you. Come get some experience with 45 Ball Pythons. But then, you're alot closer to VPI and they have quite a few more ;)

I use the Acu-rite in all of my tubs. Two of them died though, I don't know why >.< I would say because of when I used to mist, but, they sit at the front and never come near water. =[

Are there any other in-out thermos/hygros that people would recommend?
