I'm simply looking for a thermometer that will tell the correct temperature. Any suggestions along with where to purchase it?

The AcuRite digital thermometer w/ a probe is the way to go.
(The one MBrian posted would also be fine.)

Here's the AcuRite.

It shows two temps; the temp of the actual box, and the temp of the probe. Place the box on the cool side and the probe on the basking spot, and you're set. It also reads humidity, which should be 20-40% in a beardie enclosure. $12 at Walmart.

If you are willing to spend a bit more money, I highly recommend a tempgun.

Point it at something (from up close), press the button, and you get a temp reading. I have a PE-1 and I love it; I use it for measure the temps in Budo's enclosure, the snakes' enclosures, Budo's bath water, and the outdoors, when I'm thinking about whether or not to take Budo outside for a while.

I happen to look for a thermometer at Stop & Shop when I was buying a new light bulb and to my surprise I think I found exactly what I was looking for...

It's made from "Helping Hand" and only cost $7.99! I know it doesn't show the humidity but I still couldn't help but to buy one for each side of the tank.

Cool! Looks very nice! The pic doesn't show the basking spot one, is it on the highest point of the rock or on the wall?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
