Instead, I can just peek in my terrarium and make sure that all my temps and humidity are correct.

I do see your point. But I use a ARS rack so little different then cage. Valid point. No disrespect mentv

Reptile Basics just came out with their own Vivarium brand thermometer/hygrometer: The Vivarium Electronics TH-100 http://www.reptilebasics.com/thermometers/TH-100/

Reptile Basics makes quality products designed to be used with reptile enclosures. I recommend checking it out.

Took a quick photo of my two Thermoworks thermometers mounted to my tank for reference.

I also have a temp gun which I use to check substrate surface temps plus I have the Vivarium Electronics VE 100's to control the UTH's.
