Hey everyone! I'm currently looking for a new thermometer and temp gun for my beardie's tank. For the thermometer, I used to have Zoo Med's digital one with probe and am thinking of picking it up again, since it seemed to work well. Never had a temp gun so I'm not sure what to look for.

As for hygrometers, I'm looking for one not only for my beardie but for the pet mantises I will be getting soon. Trying to find an accurate and reliable one on Amazon seems to be difficult.

Which thermometers and hygrometers can you recommend? Thanks! :)

You probably don't need much. A basic digital w/probe for each side of the tank should do. Same goes with an IR temp gun because you don't need it to be *super accurate. I have this temp gun https://www.amazon.com/Nubee-Temperature-Non-contact-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B00CVHIJDK and use a Herpstat2 that monitors temps using two probes. One is mounted to the basking surface and the other is mounted to the cool side floor. I don't bother monitoring humidity. My house isn't very humid (usually the opposite) and if it doesn't feel humid to me it should be fine for a dragon.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
