Hydrometer

[Darkestfallen]

Hello,
I am a rather new BD owner. I originally got two of those dual Analog Thermometer/Hydrometer Dial type units. From reading on here, many people believe, well hve even proven, that the thermometer portion on a dial is bogus by 20-30 degrees. So I am going to switch to a heat gun. My question here is what do we do about measuring checking humidity? I want to keep an eye on this because I want to try out a fountain, on the cool side, for Fiona to encourage her to drink. Any help would be appreciated here.

I use this alongside the temp gun. It measures air temp and humidity very well.

Do you just set that inside the Viv, or is it mounted to the wall or something?

It's great because you can move it around inside the enclosure to ensure you have the right air temps at both ends, humidity wise I usually just leave it in the middle of the enclosure to keep an eye on the levels. You can also take it out for a while if it bothers them, pretty handy.

Cool, thanks, I'll try it out.
