Digital-vs-Dial
Dial and "Stick On Guages are more than often Inacurate, break down very easily, get "stuck" and make you think you either have "perfect temps/humidity", the readings are actaully 10-20 points off of what they Should be reading, or you go crazy trying to fix something that is not wrong. Here’s a pic showing the diference in readings... The Dial shows the Temps at about 80f, the Digital reading at 91.6f
And this one shows the Humidity at 75%, the Digital is reading at 61%.
You can get a Thermometer/Hydrometer at Wal-Mart that reads Warm and Cool side temps, And Humidity readings on One Unit, for $11.88,
the unit goes In the enclosure, about 2"-3" from the bottom... like this
Also - Read the post "Setting Up For Your Ball Python *Take 2*" for a list of Everything needed, and discussion on Why these things Are needed. |

Only one is needed, unless you have the type of digital that only has one reading... or one temp reading and humidity level.the unit goes In the enclosure, In the Cool Side, about 2"-3" from the bottom... |

comapired to dial digitals are more on but they still can be off .I found thatheolder thermo type ( red dye/mercury ) are the most act I seen in years I using one to help guage the difference in temp.. and make one wonder if the temp guns are right on or if they can be off too.. just food for though. |
