Humidity

Not sure where to post this...
I have tested my digital thermometer/hygrometer two different ways to test humidity and im coming up with 2 different percentages for the humidity... what are other ways to test it? They are quite a bit off from each other.

I have tried the wet wash cloth and the salt in a lid methods.. any others..?

The most accurate humidity hygrometer is a digital probe one- place the probe on the back center wall of the tank--your going to get different readings on the cools side and the hot side- optimal humidity is 40-50%

Well when trying to calibrate it I'm getting two different readings. What are some probes that are recommended? The ones I've tried are way off

I recommend a single hygrometer probe -- Exo Terra makes them heres a link
