The Acurite brand from the big box stores is cheep and accurate.

Just reread your post. There is no probe on the Acurite models. They are so cheep just buy extras and mount one outside

lol but how would that let me know the humidity in the enclosure? i wonder if i could hang one and still have it be accurate i just need to be able to look over and see it without having to get up and look in the enclosure which is what i have to do now since they're on the substrate. i messed up my back a couple weeks ago and bending over to check the humidity is killing me lol

Acu rite has a wireless indoor outdoor thermometer that also has an indoor outdoor humidity reading, I bought this one at lowes or walmart.

Yes, I use these in my sulcatas houses in winter, and when incubating eggs, the one in the pic is reading sulcata eggs.
