You really want a digital, these strip type really arnt reliable. And you don't want the little corn getting too hot. 2 or a dual probe would be even better to get a reading from each end. You will see an ad in classified for digital termometers ;) but eBay also has them at a good price

I get these LR Dual Probe themometers, they seem to be reliable, much cheaper than the exo terras that only have one probe.

The LR Dual probe has two probes that you can position at either end of the viv. Its only £5, the dial and strip themometers can only measure temp in one place when they work, and they still cost £2.
