I really dont know how accurate the stick on ones are. The only reason most dont use them is because they want to get the temps on the floor of the cage or in the hides. With the stick on ones you cant move them around and get different readings. Also if your new to keeping balls your not going to know everything. Ive been keeping them since 1993 and im not even close to knowing everything.

yeah thats what i really dont like . and they show temperatures by change in color on the ther. so its not accurate really at all when u think about it. im def. gettin a dig. im so glad you told me about that. it didnt cross my mind to get one with a probe.

Just make sure the one you get has the probe makes it a bit easier. Also make sure it can measure humidity.

The analog ones that I had that stuck to the glass were very quickly removed and thrown as hard as I could throw them, a total waste of money!! I found the analog hygrometer to be as much as nearly 20% off the temps as much as 10*F. I got 2 thermometers with the probes and one hygrometer. I have one of the probes under my hide (tucked slightly under the cypress mulch substrate) on the hot side and the other taking care of ambient air temp..I need another one to keep temps in line on the cool side as well, will be getting it tomorrow!
