Description
Hygrometer with analogue display. Measures the humidity in the terrarium. In addition to the right temperature in the terrarium, regulating the humidity is one of the central issues when keeping reptiles. Each species of reptile has its own individual requirements and for reptiles the humidity in the terrarium plays a very important role because, in contrast to humans, reptiles get most of their fluid needs through their skin and Lungs and incorrect humidity in the terrarium can have fatal consequences. For example, many types of reptiles very quickly become ill with dangerous pneumonia if the air surrounding them in the terrarium is too dry. Skin problems and the constant risk of dehydration are also the consequences of too low humidity.
Exo Terra's hygrometer is easy to read and install, making monitoring humidity a breeze. The dry, moderate and humid areas are color coded on the hygrometer to make it even easier to determine whether the humidity is in the correct range.
