A quick read here will reveal that those are crap. Get analog from a cigar store. RR

I remember when I got started I ran out and bought a digital weather station from LaCrosse with two additional sensors (for a total of three) to monitor humidity and temps.
I still love mine, never did end up using them to monitor my greenhouse's environmentals but they're still fun to have and they provide some benefit. I use mine to monitor the environmentals of the room containing my greenhouses, as well as my attic and my outside conditions.
*HOWEVER* - for monitoring the environmentals within your terrarium or greenhouse, you'll want to get a "Mason's Hygrometer" (name brand) if you can. They're usually around $40 USD and unfortunately they're rather bulk but they're dead on accurrate. Another optionis to use a "sling" hygrometer/psychrometer which are, in my humble opinion much easier to use if you have to space to spin them - which isn't often the case in small terrariums.
