Don't eat me,... Mr. Flytrap
I bought a hygrometer with my first 10 gallon terrarium, a Critterz, at the pet shop for $6. Today I found a Springfield digital thermometer/hygrometer with high/low readout at WalMart for $6.50, but since the readings were so differant, while I was at Lowes this evening, I bought a cheap, $3.50, combo. I put all three side by side in my house and then in a container with wet paper towels heated on my terrarium light hood to raise humidity levels. Last I put them outside.
The hygrometers compare as follows:
Soooo, which hygrometer do I believe? The round is the Critterz, square is the digital and the combo...is long, LOL!
