    I deep clean the enclosure, but generally just a quick wipedown of the insulation
    I meant like take everything out replace the substrate and clean everything

    Ok, yeah. I do a full enclosure deep clean every 3 months or so. Kinda on an "as needed" basis. My colubrids tend to get more frequent cleans cause the tend to be a bit more messy.

    For monitoring the temp and humidity

    I don't know anything about that particular brand.

    I use Accurite brand in all my enclosures. I get them from Walmart for $10, but I'm guessing you can probably find them online in Canada, but that's a guess.

    That one you referenced would almost definitely be more reliable than analogs though. I just can't confirm with no knowledge of the brand

    Ok lol. I have looked around at these or similar in some stores online and it seems to cost more that’s why I was going with this one. My local pet store is very overpriced on almost everything they have

    I've got some similar to that (identical look, not 100% sure on brand... probably just rebranded ones from the same manufacturer) that I toss into rack tubs. They're reasonable in accuracy. Temps tend to be better than humidity, especially when set on the ground. Mine tend to read up to 99% at random when the substrate is pushed around where the reader is I assume and the small size makes that easy to do for most snakes.

    If you hot glued the edges of the face to glass just above the substrate it would probably have good results.

    I find them about as accurate as the ZooMed probe thermometer hygrometer combo things. Pretty good for most of it, but not enough to be the only measuring method for a hot spot. (If used with a temp gun, I think it is fine). Only slightly less accurate or consistent to each other out of the box than with the Acurite ones I have.

    My 4 like this are within 1 degree F of each other and within 4% humidity in the same location over months & temps accurate within .5 degrees of my temp gun. My accurites are a bit better on humidity, but one or two came out of the box 2 or 3 degrees off. Those allowed for adjusting, so it is easy to deal with. This kind doesn't as far as I'm aware.

    Definitely a vast improvement over the analog gauges.

    Ok thank you. I ended ordering one. But not the same one there was a two pack from a more promising seller.
