thermometer and hydrometer combo?

[goldfish423]

What brand/type would you choose?? one that works well with a screen cage.

komodo are a good choice
also zilla are supposed to make good ones too
i wouldnt worry about the hygrometer too much tho x

I dont know of any combo units that could be placed inside the cage that would be relieable and able to hold up to frequent mistings.

Actuall, I dont use anything at all inside the cages. My Mistking goes off
every 2 hours, plus the dripper is on all day, so it cant be anything but humid in there. So what would be the point?

I take weekly temp readings using a digital thermometer with a probe, and I
have a room hygrometer and a large 10gal humidifier going in the winter, when
its dry.
But the RH inside the cage fluctuates like crazy, and I get a way different
reading depending on where inside the cage I take it.
So trying to monitor the RH in the cage is useless.

For really dry days, I use a small humidifier with the nozzle directed into the cage for my jacksons.

Any guage works in the screen cage that I know of I got a few analog and a digital just to make sure they stick in the cage with no problems but like bunny said you don't need them as long as you have a mister or spray every 2-4 hours not at night though because they can catch a cold lol
