Thermometer Advice?

Hey guys, so I’m looking for a digital thermometer and humidity gauge to put inside my ball python’s enclosure.
I was looking at the AcuRite 613 Indoor Humidity Monitor.

It’s not made for reptiles or anything but what do you guys think?
Also, any ideas about safe mounting of it to the tank?

Thanks

I don't like that particular model, but I do like this Acu-rite:

The probe goes on the floor of the hot side of the cage, and the unit itself sits on the cool side. It will measure hot and cool side temperature as well as humidity.

umm, this is a link for a griddle? lol

I've been using these. They are pretty accurate when checked against my temp gun. Plus they are inexpensive enough I keep a few spares on hand.

That was actually pretty funny. I think he meant to send you this link: http://m.acurite.com/thermometer-with-wired-probe.html

You can find them at Wal-Mart for $12 bucks (or you can order them from Wal-Mart's site).

I've always used these and have had good results with them:

Haha, I was looking at the picture like.. how does this thing even work? And then I saw it was a griddle.. lol

I just got one of the accurite ones ($12 version mentioned) and I almost cried. Thank God my UTH is on a thermostat, because the sticky digital thermometers that I have been using were WAY off (I even bought a temp gun afterward b/c I couldn't believe that they could be that far off). My poor babies rarely went in their warm hides and now I know why! Any way, the accurite thermometer is awesome! Love the probe and that it tells both temps.

I have the first accurite you posted and moisture got into the bottom and messed up the min/max temps. I don't keep my enclosures overly humid either.

I use these exact ones http://www.walmart.com/ip/Acu-Rite-I...ndingMethod=rr. I have been using for a year and have had no issues at all.

Thanks for all the input guys. :) I will probably head to Walmart tomorrow and pick up the suggested probed Acurite.
