    Is an acurite hydrometer/thermometer good for crested gecko enclosure?

    Hi, I was wondering if acurite would be a good choice for a hydrometer/ thermometer in my gecko's tub enclosure? Would they be okay in such a humid environment? Is there a better suited one available? I know they're great for other reptiles but haven't seen much for reptiles in more humid enclosures. My gecko is a adult in a 66qt tub .

    Would it be an issue if it gets wet?

    You'll want to avoid spraying or misting them directly because the display will be ruined, but they hold up just fine if the air/substrate is damp.
