I'll check them out, thanks!

ok , I could be totally wrong as none of the veterans caught this..."1 Hygrometer sensor mounted to the back of the tank visible just above the smaller water bowl reading 65%"....but if you place a hygrometer sensor just above a container of water, couldn't that give a slightly higher read out then what the rest of the enclosure is at? If i am wrong please point this out for my education and as well as if I am correct lol
thx

That does make sense and its my fault for not making it clear in my description. I meant the wire is visible just above the water bowl. The actual sensor is tucked about an inch off of the substrate behind the logs. Again I'm not 100% sure if this is the best position for it but this is where Monty spends most of his day and so figured having it in the same place would be best.

Again 100% humidty isnt going to be an issue aslong as its not Too the extreme, i dont or havnt used them since stopping my glass tank, AS long as you mist your snake 1-2 times during shed daily, and spritz its 2-4 times a week non shed you should be fine... if he doesnt have a clean shed, spray little more, With a glass top id recommend Eco Earth compressed coco (similar to yours but finer) its amazing for humidity! and doesnt smell as bad as that stuff!
