Have anyone used these for their Terrarium??

My baby was acting very irritated a few weeks ago (very jumpy and moving around a lot) and I couldn't understand why but then I noticed the little zoo med temp/humidity gauge was acting very sporadic so I began looking for an alternative and came across these on Wish.com.

There were very cheap and I figured I could get someone to help me put them together since I'm not that great with electronics but after asking and having a few people flake on me I did some research and decided what the heck and did it myself.

It took me a day for each box and the first day was the longest, second box wasn't bad because I had the theory down. Let me tell you this is the best investment so far... Both boxes are VERY accurate... I checked the temp with my temp gun and they both read the same exact number...  I use fans to keep the humidity between 50-60 at all times. 

I kept the zoo med inside for a few days and it was extremely off compared to the new boxes.

She seems very happy and normal... My only regret is wishing that I got them sooner... No telling how much she suffered or her life span has been cut short because of inaccuracy :-(

If anyone use nice size enclosures I highly recommend them for a piece of mind.

Thanks for the info.. cool idea... At this time I don't think she suffered much.. cuz our temps are on the warmer side.. but I think you got the hook up for the up coming winter!

Thanks for sharing

Glad to see they work great for you, and your girl is back to normal.

I've seen those digital temperature/humidity setups before on ebay too and was curious how well they did. I might have to see about getting some then if they are that good. The only downside to the Wish.com site is you have to sign-up as member to even browse, but as my wife is a avid shopper there so I'll have her find them.

Not really related to the topic, but another pretty good website to give a peek around is petmountain.com, everything on there is top name brands... but cheaper.  I get all my Zoo Med products from there, most recent being a slim model T5 Ho Uvb housing AND it came with a free uvb bulb (whereas in stores?...definitely doesnt.).

Just throwing that one out there so all my forum friends know.

Also... I like those!

Definitely something I may consider for the Idolomantis. I'm not too fond of the ones I have lol.

I discovered them on Wish but bought mines here in the states just as cheap and faster delivery... just search temperature controller and/or humidity controller and they will pop up!
