[O.S.]

Ok so last time i was on, i was having humidity issues in my tank. Since then, i have covered about 80% of the lid with tin foil, got a much wider water dish, and this seemed to have work. But just to be sure, i went out and got a digital hygrometer. Flukers brand 2-1 therm/hygrometer.

So my question, however noob it may sound, is where do i place it in the enclosure? top? bottom? does it even matter?

Thanks

You should put the sensor (wherever it is) where the snake hides most of the time.

So I would say inside the cool side hide. If it has no sensor, put it as close as you can to the cool side hide.

You want to measure humidity as close to where the snake spends most of it's time.

Thanks a lot.
And thanks to everyone here for there extensive knowledge...ive been scouring this website for a few days, hours on end, and have come across some very insightful threads. This is by far the best forum i have been a part of. Thanks

Is this a stick on? I'm going to assume it is not. If there is a sensor, place the sensor on the hot spot of the tank, on the glass, under the substrate. Humidity is measured in the ambient air so it doesn't really matter where on the lower level of the tank you get this measurement. Hope this clears things up a little for you!

Actually it is a stick on.

but it's digital right? Just a digital one with a local sensor?
(kind of like an acurite without the probe...)

yeah exactly. the sensor is on the far left of the device. just one piece, gives both readings
