    Default Reliable Hygrometer

    I think my exo terra thermo/hygrometer crapped out since it's been stuck on 84% humidity all day today when i know the tank's humidity is much higher than that since it pretty much stays at 90%. I'm guessing it crapped out due to the design of the probe being an open style, i think too much moisture got in it. So looking for recommendations for reliable hygrometer. Can be a thermo/hygrometer as well.

    Some members have used the digital ones found in the garden sections of Home Depot or Lowe's. they're a prob design and I believe they're closed probe.

    Not sure if available in the US,
    but there are adjustable hygrometers.
    They have a screw you can use to adjust the arrow.
    If you put the hygrometer in a moist towel for about 15-30 minutes,
    the arrow should indicate something close to a 100%,
    if not, you can use the screw to adjust the value to about the 100% since you know that should be around the correct value.
