    Default Humidity gauge. New here.

    Hi, I’m a new RETF owner. I got Kiwi just this past Tuesday. I’ve set up the Vivarium. My humidity seems to be consistently at 97-99%.
    Ive got 2 live plants, a moss log, terra flora dirt over a drainage layer, 2 types of mosses, and dried leaves. I’ve also added live springtails and isopods.
    My concern is that the humidity is too high, or maybe my gauge is not working properly? It’s a Vivarium electronics digital thermo-hygrometer. My temp is between 75-78 consistently.
    The probe is hanging at the back of the 12x12x18 zoomed, off to the left, and touching the back inside glass. Should I maybe move it to a different location?

    If the gauge is correct, how do I work on bringing the humidity down?

    thanks for any help!

    I’d move the probe to a different spot Preferably somewhere in the open air away from any surfaces.
