    You can try blowing out the probe with a hair dryer. I do this every couple weeks on my meters

    It can also be affected by outside temp/humidity. When it's rainy and humid outside my hygrotherm will say the humidity in the vivarium is high even if my substrate is dry. If it's stuck at a constant 90% and doesn't go with a weather change then there could be something wrong with the device.

    I have a few questions.Do you mist or spray your tank or do you have a fogger?
    If you mist or spray your tank you have to be very careful not to mist or spray the sensor of your device or it will definitely malfunction.
    I'll also agreed to the censer being affected by weather.
    Because it really only checks the moisture and the temperature of the air not the substrate.


    I am a engineer and inventor.
    I'm working on a censor placed in the substrate that will safely measure the moisture level of the substrate.
