Temps / thermometer....

I saw a thread today on here that I can't seem to find (over looking?) that someone told someone else on here that Target has good thermometers and that they have one with a probe that would work well on cool side, and to use the probe for the warm side. I went to target today and didn't find what said person was talking about. Does anyone know of the name or brand of it, the price by chance....

It actually ended up being in the background of a pic I took today for cue....you can kinda see in one of the tubs....Holmes makes it, it was 9.99 at target.

Okay looking on the site I found, THIS ONE. Not Holmes, but looks a bit like the one you have/same price....

Yeah I've got one of those too, but that one doesn't measure humidity.

If you have trouble finding the right one at Target...try WalMart and look for the Acu-Rite indoor/outdoor thermometer. It's usually in the hardware section.

We must be getting pretty picky around here......I got a negative rating for commenting in this thread.....I said I got the thermometer at target....maybe a wal-mart employee?

What about this?


Anyone? Yes? No? Give it a try?

Yup I use the Accurite. :D

Cool I'll have to see if they have any instock *crosses fingers*

Allison,


That one will work really well, as long as you remember which side is your "outside" temp. ;) Once I learned about those, all my newer setups have them. Saves a little extra money, because you only need ONE unit for hot/cold sides, AND the humidity......not 3 units all separate.

If it's not in hardware, check the yard stuff (garden thermometers, etc.). Our Wal-Mart had four or five of them. For my bigger two snakes in the tubs, I've tie-wrapped it to the side so they can't tip it. < It's just not QUITE as accessible for clearing temps (if U want to keep checking the hi/lows) > but in my tanks, I have it sitting in the bedding in a corner.

Hope this helps. :)

I picked one up today while I was at work (work for Lowe's). Just set it up and so far, so good :)

yeah, im gonna order one off of Lowes.com from that link posted or im gonna go to some big store and look for one, i want that Acu-Rite one, looks very good and not too expensive...

There's a different model Acu-Rite thermometer that has the time, a light if you push a button, the min-max feature, and the indoor/outdoor and humitidy that I got from Wal-Mart for $11. I couldn't find a link.
