Reddit mentions: The best weather hygrometers

Top budget thermostat

jumpstart

and most popular light dimmer switch

Jumpstart is best for the UTH (under tank heater) and dimmer works well for the overhead heat to control the temp. ceramic heat emitters (CHE) are recommended as they do not produce light at all and can be kept on 24/7

Both need thermometers or IR temp gun to verify surface temperature.

Excellent temp and humidity sensor. External probe goes in tank and is wireless

Get rid of that stick on thermometer. Once your snake gets big enough it will rip that right off

I have multiples of this and love it. Takes a bit to acclimate but ends up accurate. Best thing is the readout is not in the enclosure like those acurites people keep using that are not designed to go into humid environments.

AcuRite 02067M Digital Thermometer with Humidity & Wired Temperature Sensor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0AGWAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_R.-ZBb2EBSYC0

This is the one I use, cheaper than usual at $10 US. But yes, the dial style is analog, and I have yet to find one that works well. Also, the unit does have to be inside the enclosure to read the humidity in it - some people forget that part. And foil is the next best step - cover 80-90% of the top and you will likely only need to run the humidifier at low power.

If it truly concerns you, buy one of these:

Or if you want extra protection with a humidity alarm:

Oh hey, I didn't realize you were the person in the vid!

So, here's the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Crosse-Technology-WT-137U-Thermometer-Hygrometer/dp/B006MOVP7K

If I were you, I'd get two. One for the cab, one for the house, since you seem to have different microclimates. Makes sense with the divider.

Also, vinegar is your friend with mold cleanup. It kills the roots in pourous surfaces, and is non-toxic. I tend to use apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle, as I think it smells a bit better, but regular white vinegar works. Do not dillute, do not buy the super-strong "cleaning" vinegar, just use household vinegar from the grocery store.

Also, if you're in a humid place, check under your mattress/sleeping bag. You sweat, and that area is often compressed with poor ventilation.

Good luck, man. Mold really, really sucks. That experience is part of why I'm staying in the desert for the next couple months.

Analog hygrometers for reptile cages are just garbage.

How about a weather station?

https://www.amazon.com/ThermoPro-Thermometer-Hygrometer-Cold-Resistant-Temperature/dp/B07L82PF1Z/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=travel+trailer+outdoor+weather+station&qid=1568320873&s=gateway&sr=8-4

I can't tell if you mean a thermostat probe or a thermometer probe, but if you mean thermostat, yes. It would go below the cage either between the cage and the mat or the mat and the table the cage sits on top of. One controls (stat) and one measures (meter).

Here's a thermostat: https://www.amazon.com/MTPRTC-Controller-Thermostat-Germination-Reptiles/dp/B000NZZG3S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540415321&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=thermostat+jumpstart&dpPl=1&dpID=41EIwcVuXPL&ref=plSrch

Here's a thermometer: https://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-02067M-Thermometer-Humidity-Temperature/dp/B01M0AGWAC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540415352&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=acurite+with+probe&dpPl=1&dpID=41E6p4QFB3L&ref=plSrch

Here's a temp gun (can replace the thermometer for measuring the hot spot, but isn't the best for ambients and at a glance measurements): https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html/ref=pa_sp_phone_search_atf_aps_sr_pg1_2?ie=UTF8&adId=A0004500QSSZL2YC5ZBP&url=%2FEtekcity-Lasergrip-774-Non-contact-Thermometer%2Fdp%2FB00837ZGRY%2Fref%3Dmp_s_a_1_2%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1540415375%26sr%3D8-2-spons%26pi%3DAC_SX236_SY340_QL65%26keywords%3Dir%2Btemp%2Bgun%26psc%3D1&qualifier=1540415375&id=4060015967607329&widgetName=sp_phone_search_atf&dpPl=1&dpID=41UpFdeJusL&ref=plSrch

You MUST use the thermostat (or you risk life threatening burns and fire hazard/burning your house down). Which type of measuring device is up to you as long as you check regularly (daily is best).
