| When lizards require humidity you mist them, right.
But how do you know what the humidity level is, because some lizards require like 30% or 70%.
Is there some sort of humidity reader?

| Yup, there are humidity gauges. Digital ones are best, as they are the most accurate, and the dial's tend to be off sometimes.

| Those cheap exoterra ones are proven to be 20 degrees off at times, i wouldn't suggest them at all.
Temps and humidty are major factors for herps, and can cause many issues if the slightest bit off. Feeding, stress, Upper respitory infections and so on.  |

| | Get a good one, Digital or one from flukers that reads humidty and temps. All the rest are garbage! I's also just a cheap way out for yourself in my opinion, and it's not what's best for us it's whats best for the herp. |
