here the link to it..
http://www.weatherconnection.com/product.asp?itmky=868373&s=froogle
It was about 8 bucks at wal-mart..
Has anyone used this? will it work for my INCUBATOR & Terrarium?
they also had a much smaller one for about 7 bucks, i think the brand was something with "SUN" in it, a small white box... i just figured this one was a better choice, due to price & looks.
Thanks for the help friends!

I hate to say it but another member tested 1 similar if not identical to this.
He put 3 exact same model gauges in a terrarium and all 3 not only should different himidity readings but also different temp readings.
Cheap digital hygrometers are rubbish. I have one that claims to read upto 99% with an externel sensor. It never goes pst 96% not even when wrapped in a damp towl.
You can get an anologue hygrometer than can be adjusted for the high rh range, for not much more than that digital gauge.

Go to ebay or your local cigar shop and buy an analog cigar humidor hygrometer for less than $10.
Something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290280991373

75F is fine for incubation, youd dont want it any higher than 80F. The thermostat on your heater wont be too acurate. You will need to stick a thermomemter in your tub to check that its not getitng too hot.
Id go with 75F to allow for temp fluctations.
