so many different ways to measure the heat!!!!???

i got a ball python set up today so i can get the temps right before i get the snake itself but there are a billion thermostats and i got one thats so un user friendly its crazy which is a good one that is also cheap to measure humidity and temp

i heard about accurite or somthing is that good?
what do u guys use?:confused::confused:

Accu rite is good. You can get one at wal mart by the paint and stuff like that. Just ask someone theyll help you. They are just shy of 13 bucks including tax.

Good Luck!

sweet thanks man!

I second that also!! Then afterwards go on Reptile basics and get yourself a temp gun. OMG...it is the greatest thing ever. lol

i checked the walmart site but cant find it lol anywhere i can buy online?

lol....yepper...that is Henry....he isn't that small anymore. But with each shed he gets more and more handsome. There are more recent pics of him in my gallary. Thank you!!

You'll never find that Accurite on the Wal-Mart site.

Go to the store, and down the isle where mailboxes and outdoor thermometers are, and you'll find them.

There is even an excellent sticky here somewhere to make a good thing better by modifying the Accurite.

I personally use the Accurite from walmart and i found they are pretty close on the temp they read(with in like 3 degrees) I need to get a coupler batteries I think I had one just run out of get go which I can't complain it ran for like 2-3 year now on the battery it came with lol.. I need to get about 2 more of them for the incubator and the QT rack I was given ( the black plastic 6 tub one. My friend got it with a bunch of snake and gace itto me since he don't like it it liek a 28- or 32 quart deal so I figure i can use it for when I get new snakes or as an ove flow rack until I can make more room in the reptile room to place it.

ahh thats what I was going to say cuz I looked online as well and didn't find it when I went to get all my stuff. I was surprised at how many they had though and the fact that they had none on the site...weird.

I just picked one up yesterday, $12.00! Works real good, and I read that sticky on the mod and that was sweet! I'm going to do it, just have to get a 15watt soldering rod.

damm they better have it in canada!!

Well the acu-rite is a thermometer/humidity gauge, not a thermostat.

Here's a source on the web:

Shop around, you might be able to find it cheaper. I've also seen 2 different models of this. I have both models, not sure which one is the newer one.

you can also use a glue gun as well to stick it down.
