Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Acurite digital thermometers
I got 4 of these thermometers as they where dule temputare and humidity readers. I was SO excited to find something I could have all my info at one reader. I put them up and 2 out of the 4 where totally FUBARED. One did not read any inside temp or humidity. Another MIS read the temputare on the outside and said LO on both humidy and inside temp (I KNOW it was at least 80 deg where I was testing it. One other keeps flipping from F to C (I hate trying to convert C and it kept switching from outside temp to time. DO NOT GET THESE they are a BIG waste of money. At $20 each I could have gotten something much better.
Have anyone else used these and had good or bad experences with them?

I got some of the basic ones and I found them to be extremely innaccurate (+- 4-5 degrees F). Just kind of annoying. I used regular mercury thermometers, as well as an expensive digital, and those two stayed pretty close (within a degree), but my Acurite therms were pretty far off.
Spend the extra money and get something reliable and correct.

We've got a few cases of the coralife \ esu reptile digital thermometers with the probes..... they work great and we have yet to find a non-working unit.
Fairly inexpensive in comparison to similar thermometers as well. No humidity reading however...... just digital C/F temps. Accurate within +1/-1
You can find them easily for under $10 each.

I agree with Chris, the ESU units are the way to go....
