Where can I get a good humidity/ temp gauge?

[thomasjg23]

I'm looking to get a good and relatively cheap Humidity and thermometer gauge, any suggestions?

I've been told that the Zilla 2 in 1 is pretty good, around $20 (you can find them on ebay) and they have two probes so you can set the temp prob in a different area then the humidity probe.

Are you looking for one to control the environment or just to give you the readings? I havent used much for humidity, just more off of what I feel when I have my hand in the cage or the substrate, though a lot of the "cheap" hygrometers are kinda crappy.

For temp, if you use a small lil electronic one, dont go buy the reptile specific ones. I always use the ESU ones from the fish stores (2 per cage) 1 for basking area and one for ambient temp for cheaper and its the same thing (most reptile companies use the same models from the same factory but put their label on it and jack the price up). As long as the basking area isnt too hot like over 105 F. I hope some of that helped lol.

One more thing lol, I see a lot of my buddies using these on their eggs (probably are cheaper than the 'reptile' ones).

Well, I'll admit that I spent a bit more than a lot of people, but this is the one that I went with. It measures humidity and temperature:
