measuring the humidity
question for ya, i just recently installed the accurite thermometer that also measures humidity. but i also have a seperate humidity gague, the accur rite says one thing 40 and its installed under the news paper and the other gague says 70 and is above the water dish. which is right? if the accurite is right is correct how do i up it? i already have a big water dish in there.

Re: measuring the humidity
what do u mean its under the newspaper, the accurtie should be on top of the substrate. The gauge type hygro meters have been known to be up to 20% off.

Re: measuring the humidity
i thought seeing as i use a thin layer of paper that it would be better to be there and out of the snakes way then getting moved around by the snake on top of the paper. not good? good?

Not good you wnat get a true reading under the substrate for heat or humidity. those come with and adheasive(sticky) mounting bracket that what I use and it works great.
Hope this helps

Re: measuring the humidity
Yes with out a doubt. And the analog one over the water bowl could be reading high because its over the water bowl.
