Thanks Lynn... they went back to $1.99 . Talking about them thermometers; bought a few from Petsmart (different brand) and the glass on them is really thin compared to one in Imi's enclosure. One of them arrived home broken, was lucky noted it before opening packaging and dropping glass shards and a bunch of little ball bearings in carpet . Walmart also carries them at good price. have to check those for glass thickness .
