    Those work great! I bought mine there, but keep it outside the tank. The probe wire I have running into tank and under the astroturf over UTH. This allows me to have constant visual indication as to how warm Xaero's belly is when he's warming up. No stress about burns! For constant humidity monitoring I use a separate unit affixed to wall inside tank. For spot checking I use said wall mart unit and place it in different zones to take readings. Temps fluctuate very little.
    Ah, wall mart..............they don't even realize they are a herp supply store! Reminds me of way back in the day when True Value Hardware was also True Value Head Shop!! :wink:

    I actually have mine inside the enclosure, but have the excess probe wire tucked under the newspaper to keep Snyder from getting tangled up in it. The wire and the unit are on opposite sides, so I can peer in the front and check my temp and humidity for the whole thing at once.

    Here's a genius for ya
    Thanks you guys. I did look at set ups and saw the digital thermometer/humidity gauge that youve been talking about. It looks nice. I think I might try and invest on getting one of those. At least theyre not expensive.

    Oh and how high should the humidity be?

    I was surprised by how affordable they were, actually. Your humidity should be between 40% and 60% most of the time -- aiming at 50% is good -- and bumped up to 70% at shed time. You can raise the humidity with a 1x or 2x daily misting of the cage, by adding another water dish, by adding a humid hide (such as with damp sphagnum moss), or several other ways, including the forum-beloved Repti-flo.

    Oh lol two things I need to get now. A Repti-Flo and a digital thermometer/humidity gauge.

    I also took a few picks of Insomnia and Narcolepsy and their cage. The bad thing is that I dont have a digital camera and I took them on a throw away. So as soon as I can get them developed Im going to go to someone I know that has a scanner. If anyone is interested that is :).
