Okay so I've bought a rather cheap digital humidity meter off ebay and its showing temperatures fine, they seem to match up to my thermostat and laser thermometer.
The problem I'm having is it showed 99% humidity when I first put my substrate in that was still semi-damp (no more so than if I were to mist it down). I've had the doors open the entire time, run the heat light for a few days and had a fan running airflow through the enclosure for a couple of days, the substrate is almost entirely dry to the touch now and has been for a couple of days, but the meter is still reading 70-85% humidity.
What do you guys use for reading your humidity? I think my meter might be faulty for the humidity side of things.
PS. I dont have a reptile in the enclosure during all this, just working on setting everything up and working right.
