Hygrometer trust issues...

Who doesn't have trust issues with their hygrometers?!

This may be old news but for those of you who haven't heard of this before, this link shows a very interesting way of calibrating hygrometers:

How to Test a Hygrometer: 6 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow

Instead of a ziplock bag I used a tupperware container like in this video:

Note: You need to wait the full 24 hours, as the video says. Not 6 like the wikihow article says.

Here were my results:

I was happy to see I have at least one accurate hygrometer!

What's the saying?
If you have one clock, you always know the time.
If you have two, you never know.

Can you share what models these are? I am playing with a digital cigar hygrometer. I see no issues with it yet.

haha totally! I initially owned the black ones and had no problem... then I bought the white one and noticed the 10% discrepancy between the two and started getting confused haha

They are both order off of ebay:

Mini Digital LCD Thermometer Hygrometer Humidity Temperature Gauge Room Indoor | eBay

New Digital LCD Thermometer Hygrometer Temperature Humidity Meter Gauge LC | eBay

I use the black one for my giant day gecko so I am less concerned about precision, and luckily the more accurate one (white one) I have been using for my boa
