for those who need temp/hum read

i was looking around on another site (reptile site) and i found this. i thought it might be of some use to some of you folks, as i do often see questions about humidity and temperature readings. it seemed pretty cheap to me, and i know that this company sells quality supplies. if you wanted to look around im sure that you could find other supplies that you could utilize for our hobby as opposed to theirs:)

My experience with digital thermometers/hygrometers hasn?t been all that good.

I have owned the Radio Shack 63-1030 & 63-103's1found here
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=63%2D1030
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=63%2D1031
since about 3-1-02.

Like the digital units listed in your message and the ones here
http://www.grfrequencies3.com/items/weather/wireless_thermometer_hygrometer.htm
http://www.grfrequencies3.com/items/weather/remote%20sensors.htm
they all say are accurate up to 90% for humidity.

I can?t speak for all of them but I can speak for the Radio Shack units, as I own one 63-1030 & two 63-1031's.

I have never put the 63-1030 in an incubation chamber or a terrarium. It was used to read the remotes (63-1031) which were kept in the incubation chamber and the terrarium.

Temps have always been accurate but their accuracy in reading the humidity is not. They read up to 96% and will read no higher. After about a month the humidity part always read 96%. The only way to get it to drop was to let it dry out for a couple days but then it would go haywire after being put back.

Anno had suggested getting an analog hygrometer like the one found here
http://www.cigar-cellar.com/credo/humidor/page/p_hygro.htm
and to calibrate it as per the instructions found here
http://www.shroomery.org/findorgrowthem/calibrateyourhygrometer.html

The analog is rock solid, the digital is not. While the analog and the digital check out fine using the calibration method they part ways in terms of accuracy in hi humidity.

So While the digitals read temps fine they don?t fair well in hi humidity.
The analog will read humidity on the hi end with no problems.

Or you can just buy a Hydra Pod and you wont have to worry about temp and humidity monitoring in most cases.

Again my experiences are only with the Radio Shack units. The others may fair better.
