Big Apple Herp Thermostat

[packer43064]

Hey.

I've searched past threads about the BAH1000SC thermostat by bigappleherp.com it seems that some people loved it and recommends it while others do not and recommend a herpstat or a ranco/johnson at very least.

They now have a BAH1000DC thermostat, supposedly better than the SC model. Anyone tried it before (newer model)? It uses a digital smart technology now and can withstand 1000 watts. That's what their site says.

I don't have snakes, but am starting up an online insect feeder business. Some insects need warmer temps to breed much faster while others do not. So I will be having 3-4 bakers racks that are heated by flexwatt 4 inch heat tape along with normal unheated bakers racks. I have the 11 inch now, but won't need that big of flexwatt.

What I like about it is that it is cheaper, has three plug ins and can hold up to 1000 watts. I could hook up 3 flexwatt tapes on the shelves and run each into the thermostat then plug in the thermostat. I understand they make be cheaper and inferior as some people have said, but for this application does everyone still suggest a better thermostat. Losing some feeders is a bit difference from losing a snake. I would be buying 3 of these so I would be getting the discount.

Thanks, Jeff.

I have the older version and it works fairly well the only problem I have is the highest setting is just enough to keep my tubs at the right temp using 3in flexwatt. Oh and the probe is rather large.
