need accurate thermometer/humidity suggestions

[deek248]

anyone have a brand name and model number for an accurate thermometer?
Made a DIY incubator but none of the thermometers I have tried (digital and bulb type) read the same temp. Out of the 4 tried so far I am seeing a 6 degree difference.
Also are the digital humidity gauges from walmart accurate?

Spot Check by Brinsea

accurate to .1 degrees. I'm happy with mine and its reasonably priced.

Absolutely the Spot Check (also called Egg-Temp, depending on the distributor)

Also a lot of incubators have temperature variations. I have 4 in my incubator, and they read various temps, but some of them I've confirmed with the spot check that I have a hot or cold corner. One is completely wrong on temp, but good for humidity. Then I have the spot check, 2 of the little glass ones that came with the incubator (that I've checked against others and are pretty accurate), and an oral/rectal thermometer in a water wiggler. Between these I feel like I have an okay handle on what's going on in there.
