I used to have something that stood on the floor of the enclosure, a digital therm/hygro combo, basically sold as a tool for incubating..eggs I guess, it just says "incubator" on it. it was recommended for reptiles too, so I thought it would be ok. anyway, it just seemed way too easy, I was having no problem keeping the minimum of about 70% all the time in a huge 2x2x4 cage. So I decided to grab something more traditional, and bought an exo terra hygro that has the probe, which i wrapped around a vine so its about as close as possible to the exact middle of the cage.
now this is what I originally expected would happen, its extremely challenging to get the humidity right. well, actually much worse than i originally thought, the fogger does pretty much nothing to help, and a good spray down gets the humidity to 70-80, and immediately starts dropping. as of now, its almost impossible to keep humidity at 70 or more constantly, but i'm sure covering 2-3 sides of the cage will fix things up. well, i dont know how this turned into such a long post, but just to make sure, am i probably getting the true humidity readings from my new exo terra hygro w/ probe? now i really can't wait to get a mist king....
