That's a humidity gauge not a thermometer. You don't need to worry about humidity with an animal that can swim.

can u send me a link of a themometer that i should for 2 check my basking temp

Any thermometer will work. The expensive digital ones work well. The cheap digital ones are very inaccurate. So, for a cheap thermometer... one of these works just fine...

If you want to spend some money... check out (google) the digital aquatics reef keeper light. It's a full blown aquarium controller and can take temperature probe(s). You can use it to run your lights, control your heater, and do temperature of water and basking area.
