Which Herpstat to buy?
Hey All,
I have given up on my VE stats, and am going to give in and get a herpstat. Which would you recommend? I have a new 3 level 41 qt rack coming from Beeger Boxes in a few weeks.

Are thy wired with one strip of heat tape snaked between levels? If so, the Herpstat 1 would be perfect.

Well if you wait until July 3rd, Spyder Robotics is having a 10% off sale. If you only need one set up right now, I would still pick up a Herpstat 2 because it is cheaper than 2 Herpstat 1's and you are ready to do a second setup anytime you want. Otherwise you will need to order another thermostat, perhaps paying regular price plus shipping, and having to wait for delivery. Just my $0.02.

Can a herpstat 2 be set up to run a UTH and a lamp? That is, to have temp control on UTH with one of the probes, and the second to function as a timer on a light?

Yes, it can. You can even set one channel up to run a humidifier if you purchase the optional humidity probe. I have a herpstat4 running 3 separate racks in my snake room and the fourth channel runs the humidifier that I use in the winter.
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?
Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I picked herpistat first based on recommendations, and probably won't switch. Very happy with the product.

My new rack will have individual pieces of 11 inch THG tape. I don't need the stat for a couple weeks so I can definitely get on the sale.

All the Herpstats are great. I have two Herpstat 1s, a 2, and a 4. Never one issue. I like the above suggested method of buying the 2 so you are always ready to expand or run another item.

They all work well, I bought my original herpstat in 2009 and it still works great.
