    Need help on a thermostat!

    I cannot decide between the Zilla Temp Controller 500R, Zoo med Repti Temp Rheostat or the Zoo Med Repti Temp 500. This is being connected to either a flukers 4x5 or a Zilla 4x7.
    Anyone have any pros and cons on any of these before I decide?

    If you're going cheap you should check out the Hydrofarm thermostat on Amazon. They're awesome and digital, way better than either of those.

    Do you recommend flexwatt or a heat pad? ? I only have one snake in one tub for now.

    I've only used heat pads, but most people recommend flexwatt. It's cheap, but I found a heat mat on amazon as well for like $12.
