Questions about the accurate thermometer/hygrometer
So I have been hearing a lot of buzz about the accurite you can get from wal mart I picked one up today to put in my blood pythons tank, I’m guessing these are the most accurate as far as readily available temperature measurement goes? If so I picked up a digital hygrometer from one of the big box pet stores that is reading almost 10-15% humidity difference? I knew their was something wrong I live in south Florida and humidity is not very hard to maintain but it was reading 70 something % this morning and I thought no way the substrate is hardly even damp I pick up the accurite it’s reading closer to low 60s is this possible to be that far off? What are people’s general consensus on the accurite should I look into other forms of temp and humidity measurement?

Re: Questions about the accurate thermometer/hygrometer
I've been using Thermapro and Accurite the entire time I've kept reptiles and have had no issues. Now as far as how accurate they are, I can't speak for that. I'm not in a lab testing them of course lol, but what I can tell you is I experienced the same issue as you, bringing home a "reptile brand" digital hydrometer and getting wildly different results. I even ran a test once where I got a 4 pack of some brand, I can't remember which, but sat them right next to each other in my kitchen overnight, and you should have seen how different they were the next morning.
Long story short, I don't think you went wrong with Accurite.
