I am trying to follow all the advice on this forum for our new baby sulcata. We have him in a kids plastic sandbox (no sand though, of course) and I have been making a top for it. Shower curtains, duct tape, hot glue and wooden dowels is actually working out for me pretty well so far. I am about to put together the last piece and will be posting pictures when I am finished. But- even just having it enclosed so far it feels like a warm sauna whenever I reach in to add food or water. I know that I had it too cool and dry before, but now I worry that it is too hot and humid. I have become aware that my little sticky thermometer stuck in the corner is woefully inadequate. So this brings me to my question:
What is the best (inexpensive) option for measuring humidity and temperature? I looked at petsmart and petco, but it was just overwhelming. How do I pick something that actually works? Are there key words that I need to look for on packaging? And I always read about the 4 temperatures people ask for when someone is asking for help. Do people keep 4 different thermometers around the enclosure?
Thank you guys so much! It is amazing how much information is being shared on this forum.
