You'll never find that Accurite on the Wal-Mart site.

Go to the store, and down the isle where mailboxes and outdoor thermometers are, and you'll find them.

There is even an excellent sticky here somewhere to make a good thing better by modifying the Accurite.

ahh thats what I was going to say cuz I looked online as well and didn't find it when I went to get all my stuff. I was surprised at how many they had though and the fact that they had none on the site...weird.

I just picked one up yesterday, $12.00! Works real good, and I read that sticky on the mod and that was sweet! I'm going to do it, just have to get a 15watt soldering rod.

I personally use the Accurite from walmart and i found they are pretty close on the temp they read(with in like 3 degrees) I need to get a coupler batteries I think I had one just run out of get go which I can't complain it ran for like 2-3 year now on the battery it came with lol.. I need to get about 2 more of them for the incubator and the QT rack I was given ( the black plastic 6 tub one. My friend got it with a bunch of snake and gace itto me since he don't like it it liek a 28- or 32 quart deal so I figure i can use it for when I get new snakes or as an ove flow rack until I can make more room in the reptile room to place it.

damm they better have it in canada!!

Well the acu-rite is a thermometer/humidity gauge, not a thermostat.

Here's a source on the web:

Shop around, you might be able to find it cheaper. I've also seen 2 different models of this. I have both models, not sure which one is the newer one.

you can also use a glue gun as well to stick it down.

I second that also!! Then afterwards go on Reptile basics and get yourself a temp gun. OMG...it is the greatest thing ever. lol

I agree, I use my temp gun all the time.
