And as Chermo mentioned, a little over $6 at Walmart, more than 1/2 off what the pet stores charge. And make sure to calibrate/test it for accuracy.

I merged your confused post to the original post you created about your hermies.
Major question, on Jan 11 you mentioned you were going to buy a humidity gauge, did you?
If so did you calibrate/test it, and what is the humidity reading?
