Humidity in exo terra

[Ren]

Sorry for not specifying, I have an albino pacman. I'm trying to keep a stable humidity level, I do have the to screen covered with plastic. Here is a pic I just took, I posted the tread while I was at work and my foreman wasn't at his desk.

OK first thing i see is a lot of condensation on the glass...that's a good thing... shows its humid in there... I also see the temp and humidity gauge your using as I have one as well... I think its garbage... I bought 5 of them at Lowe's on clearance and my tank only said 40% humidity after running my fogging system overnight.. and with a waterfall installed as well, we actually may need to try and calibrate these, ( as Ive seen a how to on this site somewhere..) and or change your Hygrometer..I changed to a exo terra hygrometer and showed I have 85%+ humidity... something to try and think about...

I have wondered about the accuracy. I have two more I use for my blood pythons. I will look for a new hydrometer today at the pet store then. Thanks for letting me know this.

im going to attempt to calibrate mine today and retest to see if i can get anywhere...

Let me know if you have any luck, I never did get a chance to get a new one today.

still no luck with mine... i may get a new exo terra digital one later this week...

I have the Exo Terra : Thermo-Hygro / Combination in my Fire Belly tank which is 70% water. My Exo Terra hydrometer read 90% for about 2 weeks when i first bought it then went down in the 25% range. I bought the ZooMed Reptifogger and Now It runs 15 minutes every 45 minutes from 7AM - 10 PM and I read 60% After it turns off and it gets down to 30% right before it turns back on. One thing to watch out for is to make sure you are not spraying your hydrometer with your mister. I probably wont buy another exoterra digital hydrometer again. hope this helps someone.

One thing that is quite easy to do , to retain humidity levels, is put a bandanna over the screen part. I do it with my pyxie enclosure. It works just fine.
