The shop had larger ones(2 foot or so) at $65.00 also, and they had a burmese python (2 1/2 foot or so) for $60.00 also. They seem to be very knowledgeable about reptiles also, unlike alot of the shops that just sell them without ANY knowledge whatsoever. Another deal for you, I bought a digital indoor/outdoor thermometer with a humidity indicator on it at Wal Mart for $12.00 It seems to be doing good too. I dont know how accurate the hygrometer on it is but it should do pretty good I hope...
