The setup is in my bedroom, the brickwork is an old closed up fireplace alcove, where I have the tank. The humidity reading for my whole house is around 70%, I tested in a couple of different rooms. Using an exoterra digital hygro-thermometer, are these at all reliable?
Thanks

Thanks, I'll give that a go, fingers crossed it is just reading inaccurately, as it doesn't seem like there is a lot I can do about it being too high.
I am a little confused about the ideal temp for the warm side, When I was reading up it seems like 29/30C is the recommended, but now someone on this thread has said 29 is too high? Confusing!
Thanks

The habistat seems to be keeping it pretty stable, the range is 29.1-29.5C
Should I try and lower is 0.5C?

I'm just using a habistat mat stat, i'm pretty impressed with how close it keeps the temp, I was expecting a little more of a range from what I have read. I'll have a go at adjusting later. How reliable are the exoterra digital thermometers? I hope it is giving me an accurate reading!
Thanks

| That's really good for a mat stat to be holding such a small drop.....they usually get a 2-3 degree drop.... I use exoterra thermometers an never had a reason to think there wrong. One is a combi temp/hydro too. End of day everything electronic can possibley be wrong. An to be honest I'd be very surprised if your house was 70%. Not many people bother to monitor humidty in corn housing |

I have tried the hygro in a few different rooms and stuck the probe out of the window for a bit and it is giving readings around 70% everywhere. However, according to the met office it is 99% humidity outside today, so I don't think there is a lot I can do about it! I guess i'll keep an eye on it and see how it is looking when it is a bit drier outside, but it doesn't look like it is specifically a problem with the faun.
Thanks for the advice
On a positive note Basil has been having a bit more of a look around since i've been home this afternoon, definitely checking things out today :) can't wait to be able to handle him!
