Hey guys I have a PVC enclosure with a radiant heat panel inside with heat tape underneath controlled by a thermostat and the heat tape only covers half so he has a warm and cool side

Now my question is is that I never had a problem reading humidity and heat with fluker's hydrometer but lately my enclosure goes no higher than 85 degrees. Now once I mist here and there I get a nice 60%-70% humidity but the heat stays around 80-85 degrees and lower if I just misted

I have taken him out and he is sometimes cool (mornings) but mostly he is nice and warm I'm wondering if the hydrometer is messing up or I'm using a outdated one? Or perhaps a temp gage with a probe would be better and I could bury the probe so it reads the enclosures temp and a separate humidity gage?

They are old digital gages his current temp/humidity 80 degrees and 78% humidity by his water bowl and the other gage is 80 degrees and 70% humidity (I mixed a little wet bedding so it needs to air out)

Bedding is cypress with moss sometimes in case I can't raise the humidity
