Thermometer + Hygrometer 2-in-1 — Temperature and Humidity Monitor for Formicariums
A combined digital thermometer and hygrometer in one compact device. Measures both temperature (±0.3 °C accuracy) and relative humidity (±5% accuracy) simultaneously on a single large LCD display. For ant keeping, monitoring humidity alongside temperature is particularly important — many species require consistent humidity for healthy brood development, and humidity in a room can shift significantly with heating, ventilation, and seasonal change.
Specifications
- Display: LCD, 36 × 17 mm — both readings visible simultaneously
- Temperature accuracy: ±0.3 °C
- Humidity accuracy: ±5% relative humidity
- Refresh rate: 1 second
- Measurement: ambient (no probe)
- Power: coin-cell battery (replaceable)
- Use: formicariums, terrariums, breeding rooms
When You Need to Measure Humidity
Most temperate ants tolerate a wide humidity range and do not need active monitoring. The species that need it are tropical and subtropical ones — Atta, Acromyrmex, Carebara, Daceton, most rainforest Camponotus, and species kept in heated rooms during dry European winters. For these, brood development requires 60–80% relative humidity in the nest zone. Below 50%, larvae desiccate; brood stops developing.
If you keep any of these species, a hygrometer is not optional — it is the only way to know whether your nest hydration setup is working.
How to Use It
Place next to the formicarium or in the same enclosed environment where the colony lives. The 2-in-1 measures ambient — the air around it. For sealed formicaria where interior conditions differ from ambient, use the probe version (Thermometer + Hygrometer with Probe) which has a sensor on a long cable.
Compatibility
- Works alongside all formicarium types
- Pair with our heating mat if you also need active temperature control
- Essential for tropical species in our live ant catalogue
Care & Maintenance
Keep the device dry: wipe the housing with a dry cloth and never expose the sensor openings to water or spray. Dust on the humidity sensor slows its response, so keep it away from soil and substrate. Replace the coin-cell battery when readings drift or the display fades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it have a probe?
No — this is the no-probe version, measuring ambient air. For probe-based measurement inside a sealed formicarium, see the probe version.
Will room humidity match formicarium humidity?
Roughly yes for open arenas; no for sealed nest sections with active hydration. If your formicarium is open-top or well-ventilated, ambient readings are a good proxy for interior. If it is sealed and you wet a hydration chamber regularly, the interior runs much higher than ambient — use a probe.
How accurate is ±5% humidity?
Sufficient for ant keeping. A 5% margin (e.g. 60–70%) is well within the range any species tolerates. For laboratory-grade accuracy you would need a separate dedicated device costing 10× more.
What target humidity for tropical species?
60–80% in the nest zone is the common target. Above 90% encourages mould; below 50% larvae desiccate. Adjust by adding water to a hydration chamber or wetted cotton.
