It's not JUST dampness that causes scale rot. If it was so, my snakes that live in their water bowls would have had big problems long ago.
The problems begin when certain amount and or type of bacteria is present along with the dampness. So keep an eye on the enclosure daily and remove any waste products as soon as spotted.
The Accu-Rite combo Thermometer/Humidity gauges are Walmart and Amazon for about $8-9.
