This unit gives you the temperature readings for both hot and cool ends and the humidity measurement all in one.

OOOH BE! That's a good one - it's got 2 probes and an alarm! If it came with a hygrometer it would be perfect! But, I guess a fridge don't need humidity measurement... I'm gonna look for one here in the US and try it out. It's cheap enough to grab a separate hygrometer.

Welllll......Sofia has FINALLY been to the ladies room & it was a double whammy! Pratically flooded her tank! :-D
Her eyes have started to go now so she will be ready to shed soon. I've added her moss hide which she probably won't use, but at least it's there.
I got the thermometer/hygrometer above & it shows that my dials were completely useless! I'm only getting a 2°C difference from the hot & cool ends of the tank. Is that ok? Also her humidity is in the 40's. I know it should be 50-60. It was in the 20's but I've moved her water bowl underneath her ceramic bulb & with the moss pot that has increased it to 40's. Is there anything else I can do or will it be ok?
Sofia is just in the middle of eating a rat. Yay! The shop I went to has closed down so I ordered a load off their website. She is on medium rats but this one looks a bit bigger than the others. Does she know her limit or will she hurt herself trying to eat it?
Oh & the humidity seems to have sorted itself out. Must be because of the warm weather we are having at the mo.
I don't normally weigh the rats I just ask for medium ones & they have been the same as her girth. They are normally boys she gets but this one was female, she obviously had a few weight issues There are a couple of other big ones so I will weigh them & weigh her again.
She has taken it behind her shedding pot rather than in her hide & is wrapped around it. I hope it will be gone by morning & she has managed it ok. I just wondered if they knew their limits when it comes to eating.
Oh & this time it is just under 5 weeks since she last ate, so that is an improvement from her usual routine. I have tried her with food but she wasn't really interested. I hope I can get her to eat more regularly in future.
