no in my experiment I used a high quality hygrometer (this was done in a college lab). As I stated I was measuring the amount of humidity levels of the air. Boxie stated the same thing I did but in a more technical verbage. Another way to look at it is this, as temps drop so does the dew point. As dew points drop it takes less water vapor to increase humidity levels. I will not debate whether warm air holds more water vapor because it does but it can hold alot more therefor requiring more moisture to reach 100%. This is relevant here so at 88 degrees for a temp you can have a drier incubation substrate to maintain a high humidity level versus 91 degrees in which you will need more moisture in the substrate to maintain the same high air humidity level. This is more beneficial with moisture sensitive eggs such as chondros and diamonds more than bp's but I still employ the same techniques for all python eggs and have yet to loose an egg to a problem with too much moisture.
