The thermometer reads humidity, the hygrometer is humidity. Go to walmart and buy one of the digital thermometer/hygrometers. It will be a lot cheaper than ordering something...

It would be cheaper, but if that one from Wal-mart gets caught in the turning tray..

Then your talking alot more money for rack..turner for the RX2. RX2 doesn't have much room to play with.

Couldn't you attach it to something that is too big to fall between the racks?

The reason I wanted to order the thermometer is bevause I am asuming is more acurate than anything else.
Please correct me if Im wrong.

Also why are this incubators so expensive?

They cost more than some of the sportmans

Yes, It will be more accurate than the cheapo at Wal-mart. I have 2 of the older Roll-X and they are extremely worth every penny...they will hatch anything !!! They are much better than the Sportsman. Quality cost more, they are very reliable incubators.
