    Angry New humidity and temp gauge

    Posted this in husbandry but got no responses. Trying here

    So I was using an old Accurite for humidity and then a newer Accurite to monitor the heat pad temp. I didn't trust or like that one for humidity. Long story short, there was an incident that destroyed the newer one. So I am in the market for a temp/humidity gauge for inside the tank. One that has a wired sensor for the hot side but that also monitors ambient tempt and humidity. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced one and where to order??

    Get an IR temp gun. Amazon has many options.

    For a gauge I like these. They're cheap but work surprisingly well. I've compared then with my cigar hydrometer and they were very close. The temp gun can check your hotspot and the other will track the air.

    Every Accurite probed unit I've bought has failed. I'm done with them.
