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.

Digital Hygrometer Thermometers
I am looking at getting some Digital Hygrometer Thermometer for my cages. My questions is this. Should I have one for every tub and if so where can I get a good deal on 10 of them?

One for every tub = gadget overload.
Unless you are trying to maintain vastly different environments in different tubs, save your money - the differences won't be that extreme tub to tub, and you should be able to recognize the different conditions without seeing actual readings. I recently bought a few small ones, just to see how much difference a few changes would make (I already knew it was REALLY DRY). If you are concerned about humidity in your racks, the easiest thing you can do is to use a substrate like mulch, coco-fiber, etc. (I'm not a huge fan of misting over paper or aspen).
WalMart (and any number of other stores) have a range of digital hygrometer/thermometers, ranging from about 6-7 dollars and up. For my purposes, the cheap ones are fine; as I don't really care how accurate they are (it doesn't matter to me if I put two of them side by side and get readings of 50% and 56%). I use them as a basic reference, a trending device. For those that are more focused on specific and accurate numbers - and, for some species, that is certainly warranted - it would be worth researching the devices...and choosing models which have demonstrated accuracy and consistency.
