Humidity okay?

    Humidity okay?
    I know ideal humidity is 50-60%. I have two thermometer/hydrometers in his rack. One on the cool the other on the hot. The cool side reads 80 degrees with 67% humidity. The one on the hot side reads 91 degrees but 90% humidity. Is this okay? I am not sure if this is because the probe is under the hide and it’s more humid inside of it. Any help with this would be great. Thanks in advance!

    I would think that having one probe under a hide might up the humidity a bit, but I don't know about THAT much. Is it a humid hide or just a normal hide? And are the thermometers the same brand/model?

    90% humidity is definetly too high in my opinion... I'm letting my humidity get up to around 85% AT MOST and that's cause he's in shed right now.

    If that's really how high the humidity is, I would try and get it down, but as long as the whole tank isn't 90%, and it's not wet, then I wouldn't worry too much.

    Same brand thermometers and it’s a black plastic hide, no a humid hide. I put the probe on the substrate where my little guy spends his time on. Maybe the combination of it being under the hide and snake is making it jump. Should I love the probe maybe to get a more accurate reading? It’s not wet or damp at all In rack.
