Those little ones such as exo terra with the little dial are a complete waste of money. Get a digital one, i ordered one of these which arrived the other day, and am going to order another: eBay.co.uk: Digital Thermo Hygrometer Poultry, Hens, Hatching Eggs (item 160109022599 end time 23-Apr-07 22:09:55 BST)

do a deal with a dude on ebay.... I'm sure if you tell him you would like 4 thermo-hydrometers he'd do you a deal.. Failing that should cost around < 40 quid.... Personally I'd get one for each viv
