Is humidity variance normal?

Just to let you know, the ET and NG hygrometers or combo gauges use small batteries and do not need electrical connections .

Carlos, I am herp stupid lol. Could you link me to one?

I was also looking at this: Gauge - Humidity & Temperature Digital | That Pet Place

I haven't yet determined if it needs an outlet.

I have two of each of these. Both of the exo terra's say 99% for humidity all the time. It never changes. The Nat Geo's seem to be pretty accurate so far. There is one bad review on that nat geo, but I've had very good luck. Both use batteries.

Thank you, Amy!

Hi

I used this LCD Thermometer to monitor my viv. React very quickly to changes, like if I open the viv door for loner time or sprinkle water in the viv.

I went ahead and ordered the NatGeo hygrometer. I'm going to run both for a while, just to see what's what while I get used to having an enclosed sub tropical garden in my kitchen LOL. Anyway I've never seen one in the stores near me so just ordered from petsmart online. It should be here next week.

Due to the sudden (and I mean sudden) drop in humidity in my town, I am seeing lots of evaporation. This could also account for the rapid humidity swings in the viv, I suppose. I'm sure my newbie misting (likely uneven within the viv and probably not the same amount every day so far) isn't helping either. I will just keep an eye on things. There are plenty of pockets where water could become trapped in the viv, and plenty of open areas, so I'm sure all will be fine for the toadlets when they make it into the tank.
