    Exoterra fell into Water

    I use an Exoterra single probe unit to measure humidity in my ball python tubs. On feeding day, the whole unit fell into a bucket of water. I immediately got it out and set it out to dry for 24+ hours. I just put the battery back in and it seems to be working just fine. Would you continue to use it or get a new one? I know what the humidity of one of my tubs is consistently so I will try to test it with that.

    Put it in a sealed container filled with rice to suck the moisture out. Take out the batteries when you do this. This is what I do with any electronics that have come in contact with water. It usually does the trick!

    So you'd still use it after the rice then?
