    Even the non-digital ones might not do very well in high humidity environments though. They're meant to go inside the enclosure but may not stay accurate as they weren't intended to deal with 100% humidity 24/7. That's just conjecture though.

    For temperature I use an LCT (Liquid Crystal Thermometer) and those work great, I find they're very accurate as the liquid crystal pads only light up if they are THAT temperature. They look like a long black strip with square or rectangle panels on the inside that turn different colors for different temperatures, just n case you don't know what one looks like. Very cheap, I got all three of mine for $3-$4 I think.

    As for the hygrometer, I know it's better to be accurate, but if you don't have the cash I would stick with a dial hygrometer until you can afford to buy a digital unit. I use dial hygrometers on all three of my vivs and they've worked fine for me so far. Except the one on my P. Tomopterna's viv is always stuck at 70%...I realize this one is probably broken, but going out and buying another unreliable dial one is ridiculous. I think I'll wait until I can afford digital.
