...I think most of the stick on thermometeres and hygrometers are not very accurate. The Raytek temp guns are great. Some of the remote probe hygrometers are fairly accurate. Seeing condensation on the inside of the glass tells you that the humidity is 100% there at the glass/innner cage environement boundary. Glad the snake is doing well.

>>I currently have a thermometer and hygrometer designed for reptiles, both of them repti-med I believe, about 1" above the substrate in my BRB's enclosure. However, I'm not sure I can trust the accuracy of these products. You are probably not gonna have that condensation all the time but if you never have it you probably do not have enough humidity for little Rainbows.
