Can I use this thermometer/hygrometer in an incubator?

the only problem with using these type of thermometer is they can be 2 +/- degrees off, some more. an incubator thermometer Has accuracy of (+/-) .18 Degree Fahrenheit. are easier to use, and cost $21.35. I use a dial reptile humidity gage it sticks in the 'bator $6.99

I prefer the Spot Check digital thermometer. It is made specifically for incubation, and is accurate to within .1 (one tenth) of a degree. Those Springfield thermometers from Walmart are not accurate. You can put 3 or 4 in the incubator and they will all read differently. They can be off a degree or two or five, and that can ruin your hatch.
