A 20 gallon is way too small, even temporarily. You can not get proper temperature gradients in a tank that small much less enough room for Liz to move around. How big do you plan on making the new cage? You can pick up a thermometer from you local walmart or lowes for much cheaper than pet store prices, just make sure its a digital. Get one that measures humidity as well.

The smallest cage should be about the size of a 50 gal tank. This is the minimum size you can have and still get the temperature gradients correct. Any digi thermometer from Walmart will do. That's what I use...:-)
