What do you guys think is the most accurate hygrometer out there? Im having issues with mine. They are reading 2 different things eight next to each other. I have cheapo's and some that are more expensive, but I can't find any that seem to match, atleast closely... ?

Accurite thermometer/hygrometers are quite good for general use:

I also have one of these, and like it a lot. It has a fast response and you can check in specific spots, such as under a hide. I found that the Accurite and Protmex give very similar readings.

For wifi/app connectivity, people have recommended Govee hygrometers, though I have not tried them. I used an Inkbird wifi hygrometer and it was not good.

+1 on the ACCURITE.
I bought a few in the garden section at Walmart about a decade ago for maybe $10.
I still use one and its on the original battery.
I've misplaced the other one. But I can almost guarantee that if I found it, it's also still functional.

I will definitely get one of those then! It's actually for my bearded dragon. It's so dry right now because of all the heaters and such for winter so I'm trying to get it right for him, but that only works if I can get a reading ?
