Hi I live in England so the room temp in summer can be 90s in winter with central heating about 75-80 or so. the wood chips are about a centimeter square some are smaller.and the probe is roughly in the middle .
Hi he has been in the enclosure about 2 and a half years ,outside is generally room temp, and they are ordinary wood chips for reptiles as sold in pet shops . And the hydrometr is about half way down the enclosure ,or rather the probe is .
