Where to buy Digi Hygrometer that shows <90%RH

I have a Digital Hygrometer that only displays upto 90% RH, once 90% RH is achieved it shows an EE% value. Analog hygrometers that I have bought are garbage ( I know how to calibrate ) not nearly the accurate reading I need. I have already spent $30 on the digi and $20 on two analogs, just looking for accurate readings....

I think the current popular solution is a tobacco store device for mesuring the humidity in a cigar humidor- $12ish.
What about the scientific supply companies? Edmund, Analytical Scientific etc?? Let us know whatyou find.
Did you mean less then 90%?

In reply to:
From another thread: What's the point of buying a hygrometer again? You know it's going to be humid, but unless you spend a lot of money, an ordinary hygrometer won't register anything over 80%, and then when it gets too humid some models will rust and then you've got a broken one.

at walmart, there is a hydrometer thermometer combo that tells the indoor(on the unit) and outdoor(the end of a long wire) temps and humidities for around 15 dollars

my friend uses several of these with great satisfaction:

not cheap, but plenty accurate and sends temp and rh back to a remote station via radio waves so my friend doesn't have to keep getting up to go check.

I have one of those ass-mart thermometers/hygrometers, and the damn thing has NEVER read above about 35% even when there's water dripping off everything. I live in a dry climate, but goddamn, the senor was actually wet and it didn't even get to 40%.

Thanks for the advice, i kinda figured that I would have to spend alot to get an accurate hygrometer. I guess I will just rely on misting and moist perlite and hope that keeps the humidity in the 90-100% range. I looked in the terrerium yesterday and boomers are growin so I must be doing it right!
