    Big difference in readings. The newer one must be faulty.

    don't know about your hygrometer but high humidity is fine as long as there's good ventilation and the enclosure isn't sopping wet in my opinion. i usually have more issues with low humidity in garters than high humidity.

    You could do the salt test. What you do is get a soda bottle cap and fill it 3/4 of the way full then put just enough water in it to make it pasty, then get a plastic baggy and put the hygrometer in it and wait 24 hours if it reads exactly 75 the gauge is accurate

    Well I sent it back the new one which i had to pay for £1.50, they said they tested it and it worked fine so i have to pay £2.99 to get it back So now with the extra postages and time hassle i may aswell just have paid shop prices.
