Why don't you just put the hydrometer in different places throughout the enclosure to test? or even buy a cheap dail hydrometer.
If your hydrometer is at the bottom of the enclosure, and is outside the screen - it will likely that it will be more humid inside the cage and around the foliage.
Again I reccomend you buy a few more hydrometers - Guess work can be can lead to dier consequenses..
Good luck

Cheers,





>>my digital hygrometer sits at the bottom of my panther's cage, just outside the screen. im wondering, is it safe to assume that the humidity inside of his enclosure, deep inside the foliage, is slightly higher than what the hygrometer reads? i have a humidifier aimed at his cage that runs for 30 minutes out of every 2 hours, all day and night. usually the hygrometer reads from 55% to "HI," but sometimes when the a/c is running in my house and the humidifier is just about to come on, the hygrometer reads as low as 47%. my panther doesnt show any signs of dehydration, but i just want to be safe.
