You deffinetly have high humidity in the enclosure based on everything having drops of water. I would consider getting a new hygrometer if it still reads 46%. Cant be right.


..yes still only gets in high 40's,crazy huh? I believe the temp is correct tho, maybe because the probe gets wet being in there ? Idk, this is the low night temp in the tank and 91 is night time high, but humidity stays around the same
I can't imagine the reading being true .."Tito" doesn't look like he's starting to pyramid does he, someone with the eye give it to me straight... I can take it

I think you might need to get a new thermometer/hygrometer to make sure because it looks like it should be more than what it's reading. I'm far from an expert, but that's what I'm proposing. I got a new one today at Petsmart and I have the enclosed readings. Mind you my enclosure is only 12-14 inches high. And with the 2 inches of top soil and 2-3 inches of coco coir, the area is much smaller.

This is the one i use. The outdoor left side is my enclosure and the right side is the indoor of my house. It is wireless and really works well. There are a lot to choose from out there. Got mine on Amazon. There has to be something wrong with yours. There is a way to test your Hygrometer to see if it is reading correctly. I use to do this for my cigars to test my humidity was accurate.. I have a attached the link showing you how to test to see how off your hygrometer is if at all. Which it appears to be.
