Exo Terra Rept-O-Meter Hygrometer
Read terrarium humidity at a glance, no batteries. The Exo Terra Rept-O-Meter Hygrometer is a stick-on analogue dial that mounts inside a terrarium or vivarium and shows relative humidity at a glance. It suits any enclosure where getting moisture right matters – tropical geckos, frogs and shedding reptiles generally – and needs no batteries, wiring or calibration to keep working.
Key features
- No batteries, ever – a purely mechanical dial, so there's nothing to charge or replace mid-shed.
- Stick-on mounting – an adhesive back presses onto clean, dry glass or PVC inside the enclosure, no drilling or brackets.
- Reads at a glance – a clear analogue needle is easy to check from outside the enclosure without disturbing the animal.
- Pairs with the matching Thermometer – mount both together to track humidity and temperature in the same zone.
- Compact – small enough to sit low in the enclosure without crowding decor or a basking area.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for: daily at-a-glance humidity checks in tropical, humid or shedding-sensitive enclosures.
- Not suitable for: precise numeric data-logging – Exo Terra does not publish an accuracy tolerance for this analogue model, so use a digital hygrometer where exact figures matter. Not rated for submersion; mount above the waterline in paludariums.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the dial face with a dry cloth. Avoid spraying misting water directly onto the face, and re-adhere or replace the unit if the backing loses its grip in a consistently humid enclosure.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by the Exo Terra manufacturer warranty against faults, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Ships by standard parcel delivery.
Goes well with
- Exo Terra Rept-O-Meter Thermometer – mount alongside it to read temperature and humidity in the same spot.
Common questions
Does it need batteries or calibration?
No. It's a purely mechanical analogue dial, so there's nothing to charge, replace or calibrate.
Where should I mount it?
At animal height, clear of the substrate and water bowl, and somewhere you can read it easily from outside the enclosure.
Can I use it in a paludarium with standing water?
Yes, as long as the dial face itself stays above the waterline – it isn't rated for submersion.
How accurate is the reading?
Exo Terra doesn't publish a numeric accuracy tolerance for this analogue model. Use it to track trends and confirm your misting routine is working; pair it with the Rept-O-Meter Thermometer if you also want temperature at a glance.
