    Default digital thermometer and hygrometer

    In short, what are the best ones of these to get? For accurate readings and quality.

    I have been using the exo terra ones but the readings sometimes seem off and if I sprinkle it with water by accident sometimes it goes off for a while.

    I bought an All Living things one but haven't tried it yet.

    Recently bought a National Geographic one that I like so far.

    I also bought the National Geographic one, just the other day. It seems to be reading right on with my exo terra. I think the accuracy of some of these depends on what you're using them for. I'm using them with grey tree frogs, who I do not need to mist regularly because the water dish has a bubble stone in it which seems to maintain the humidity really well. I think if it was a species that needed a higher humidity and required daily misting, I might run into trouble with them. As far as I've seen though, the digital therm/hygrometers that do really well run pretty expensive.

    I have an Exo Terra digital and a ZooMed analog. Both of them will tell me that I have great humidity (60-80%) when I can tell that the substrate is too dry or too wet. I get the feeling that I am not using them correctly, somehow. I wish I could get ones to stick into the coir to tell me if it needs more water.
