Hi all,
Would I be right in saying that the accepted humidity for a royals viv is around 50% rising a bit (maybe to 60%) during a shed?
Also, does anyone have a recommendation on a good digital hygrometer? I have a suspicion that the stick on dial one that I have is a bit rubbish....
Thanks! |

aye the stick on ones a a big bit rubbish, they are superb as paperweights though. exo terra do a decent one, but normal uk humidity is fine foro royals. Is not something i measure and just add a damp hide during shedding to raise the humidity but no harm in measuring humidity if you wish. |

I use digital because I don't trust the dial sort either. I've got Exoterra and Lucky Reptile, both appear to be good.  Humidity is normally between 50-60% but I up it as soon as they go blue. |

I started with a dial one and they are massive rubbish! Think mine is exoterra too from Surrey pet supplies... It highlighted how utterly useless my old one was when I got it! |
