Re: Good beginner lizard?
For the hygrometer, you can get the cheapest one if you'd like because you don't need to be precise. Just don't get an analog hygrometer; make sure it's digital. The analog ones are sometimes calibrated okay when they're new but always eventually get screwed up. I've seen digital ones for as low as $16, and I think that was a hygro/thermo combo.
For a garg you want the humidity to be around 50% all day(don't let it get too far below that). It'll spike to around 90% when you mist and gradually drop to 50. This spike is important, so mist daily even if the humidity never drops below 50. Just don't let it sit at 90 all day either(but that shouldn't be a problem unless there's no ventilation).
A lot of breeders don't use a hygrometer, though. I judge by watching what happens to the food, as I described before. But the humidity in my place is fairly constant(around 20) so I don't have to make any changes from day to day. If your place fluctuates a lot then a hygrometer might come in handy.
