Where to put my hygrometer?

Bought a cheap exo-terra hygrometer and was wondering where to put it. Up high, next to his burrow? I know they aren't supposed to be accurate but it was cheap.

wherever, i made the dumb move and bought one too
basically, if the soil is moist, not wet, your scorp is good
but yeah, just put it where he is the most

Thanks.

i put mine in the top corner of her tank and her tank is always nice and moist but my hygrometer always says it like 60-70% is it really that inaccurate??

i bought one of those newer more expensive hygrometers. its from zilla and its a hygrometer and a thermometer built into one. i dont know how accurate it is but i keep it away from the heat lamp and in the top corner.. i would think its accurate cause when it dries out the humidity goes down to like 60% then when i pour water into the substrate, it goes back up to 80%. i guess just try to keep water away from the hygrometer like when u spray water into ur tank try not to spray it at the hygrometer..

I also put mine in top ,because the humidity tend to raise up from the Buttom ,but when i buy a new one i use to wrap some wet clothes around it and let it be for a Half hour or so ,then it should say 100% ,dont really know if this help , but was a trick i once Got for getting more accurate mesuaeres .anyhow i just use mine A's a guideline -even my l.mucronatus are doing Well when just giving water every 3-4 Day ,keeping the hygrometer swinning between 60-75 %. So i dont believe to much in Them ,

i have the cheap little exo terra hygrometer and thermometer, and i set them at the top,dead center of the tank and they work out alright...
but it might also be that none of you guys live in a warm climate state like i do

He is right, this is how you calibrate a hygrometer It should be done every 3 weeks to a month to keep it reading decently accurate.

How did I never see this thread?

The best place to put your hygrometer is in the garbage can.

/discussion.

well than whats a good way to check and assure good humidity levels?

Just pour some water onto the substrate so that it is damp, not soaking and that should give you about 80%-90%

Assuming its coco fibre and a sp that requires decent humidity

lol what if you like to know for sure?

If you like to know for sure, get an aquarium, where you know it's always 100%.

im not putting a scorpion in so many gallons of water...
