Thermometers and Hygrometers

[Diablo]

Anyone recommend any dependable but affordable temp. and humidity sensors for an enclosure that will be housing a hatchling b&w argentine tegu temporarily until I build its final enclosure? Will just about any do?

I use a dual unit from zilla.
I like it because it has seperate probes for temp and humidity, its handy because you check relative humidity and then move it to check humidity in a hide or burrow as well.

This one? I've been looking on amazon, because I don't really like my local reptile shop, however I might end up buying from there just so I dont have to wait. The reviews on this one made me not want to shell out the 23$ for it, but I saw a couple analog ones that had good reviews. Not sure if analog are just too cheap and hard to read or not though.

Thats the one I have.
I cant speak for anyone else but ive had two of them for about 1 and 2 years and find the humidity to be acurate as I keep an analog hygrometers in my enclosures as well.
Bare in mind for every bad review im sure there is many satisfied (albeit quiet) customers.

I used accurite digital units from walmart. The analog ones are generally inaccurate.
