Is There a Problem with my Thermometers nd Hygrometers? Or It's Just Me?

Hello guys, I have some sort of a problem here or maybe its just me. I have a problem with the thermometer and the hygrometer inside the enclosure of my ball python.

Is there something wrong with the numbers in my thermometer and hygrometer? Hot Side : 80-84 F Day & 75-80 F Night . Cool Side : 84-88 F Day & 80-84 F Night. How come my cool side has higher Fahrenheit than my hot side? Need your thoughts about this. And maybe some solutions may be helpful also. Btw I have two thermometers in the enclosure. A sticker thermo in the cool side and an analog thermo in the hot side. Could my thermometers be broken? Or it is nothing to worry about?

I am also worrying somehow with the humidity in the enclosure. It always has the same humidity level no matter what ( 90% ) . Could my hygrometer be broken? It is an analog hygrometer ( Exoterra ) and it fell once but I fixed it, there was no cracks or anything. My water bowl is small for my ball python tho, it is a M size Zoomed Reptirock about 5 inches length and 3 inches width. Been thinking of buying a bigger one when I'll save money again. My bedding is aspen but I did'nt mist them but still my humidity level is still 90 no matter what. I got my hygrometer and placed it in the heat outside; It was 60% outside the house but I noticed some vapor inside of it. I placed it back it the enclosure, It slowly turned back to 90. It still has vapor inside of it. Could it be the reason why my humidity is high? I need to know if its normal or something is broken with the hygrometer because I am going to buy another one if it is.

Note : I have no lighting in the enclosure whatsoever. It is hot here in our place since it is a tropical country but if a heating source is the solution, feel free to tell me asap.

Thank you for your help! Happy Keeping and have a nice day ahead! :)

Go digital...... The stick on ones suck, especially if they are zoomed

Like the previous poster mentioned, it is probably your thermometers. The stick on ones can be off by as much as 10º-20º. Get an IR temp gun or thermometer with probe to get accurate readings.

And avoid analog ones. They are off by a decent amount pretty much all the time.

How about my hygrometer problem? Do I also have to change it to digital?

yes. there are combination digital thermometer/hygrometers, i would look into those. AcuRrite is the brand i and lots of others use.

Thanks for the advice bro! xD
