Digital Thermometer and Hygrometer Help

[Maize]

I have the Rept-O-Meter Thermometer & Hygrometer by Exo-Terra and was told that they are a bit inaccurate and should invest in a Digital one. Does anyone has any suggestions on which one I should get? I'm new at this so I want to make sure i'm doing and buying things correctly.

OK so I ended up getting the Digital thermometer and have been testing the basking spot. I havent really worried to much about the heated area and cool side. I been having issues trying to get the basking spot between 105-115F. I had a red heat lamp which is now changed to http://www.lampsplus.com/Products/Sylva ... 08048.html. It's hovering at 100-105F when I checked this morning. It's funny though and not sure if this is normal but I was testing the basking spot with two different digital thermometers and the temps are atleast 5 degress from eachother. Is this normal? To me that is a big difference and I'm not sure which one to believe lol.

when I was shopping for thermometers, I had noticed that some said they can be off by up to 5%. I am pretty sure they have to disclose this info on the package but I oculd be wrong. if your temps are around 100-105 leave it be because as the day progresses it will rise a couple of degrees

OK will do and will post when I have an update.
