Hygrometers?

[Gc99]

Okay, long story short, I bought a "ball python kit" because the people at the store told me that thats all my bp needed, but i come to find out that i need a thermometer and a thermostat for the uth (im getting that soon) and that the hygrometer i got was not working properly, my question is what hygrometers do you people reccomend? I saw one from All Living Things, its digital for 10$, looks good to me but i dont know. Does anyone have experience with that brand? Or should i go for a different one?

AcuRite models, found at walmart or on amazon

Can you stick those to the inside of the tank? I guess that better bc it will read ambient temp and humidity as well right?

you just set them inside on the enclosure floor, and yep

agree with above, I have acurites in my tubs, work good.

Well, i guess im getting a couple of acurites then, thanks

But can they get wet, as if, if i mist the tank to increase humidity would that throw the reading off or something? Sorry for the dumb questions lol or if the snake gets it dirty can i clean it? Because if its going to be on the tank's floor it could get pooped on

it will throw the humidity off if it gets wet for a little bit, but can just take out before you spray and then replace it. i've never had mine get pooped on but i can assume you can clean them off and they'll be okay. maybe someone else has experienced having to thoroughly clean them.

I will get them asap then, I see them online for 10 bucks, i suppose thats a good price, i think i dont have problems with humidity because my ball pythons shed without any trouble but i want to keep an ideal humidity
