Ok, so I got both my new BPs set up in rubbermade tubs. I am pretty sure that the humidity is fine, if anything a little high. I bought one of those Acurite indoor/outdoor thermometer/humidity gauges that I saw in a couple of posts here, and the temps seem accurate, but the humidity gauge is not accurate at all. It basically started with telling me my humidity was over 90% and then gradually has gone down ever since. Now it tells me that my humidity in the warm side of my tubs is 37-38%. It was showing me 43% with newspaper as substrate so I went out and got some repti-bark and put that in both tubs. Now it shows 37%. I know this can’t be right because when I opened the tubs there was condensation on the top and sides of the tub. So to test it, I put the probe inside my humidor which I know is around 68-70% humidity, and it still shows 38%.
All that to ask, what humidity gauges are people using that work well? I was hoping to get something I can move around fairly easily so that I don’t have to have a separate gauge for every tub. Can anyone recommend something that might work better?
Thanks
