wanting to get a thermostat. My temps are beautiful, but the season will change soon and I am going to be put into a mental institution for obsessive monitoring. I just hate wasting anything, ESPECIALLY my money, so I wanted to be well advised before purchasing. My personal funding is pretty low right now, but you know, Jackson is my baby and if he's healthy and comfy I'm happy.
-How exactly do they work? (I don't mean electrically or technically, just what do I need to do with it?) Do they require an UTH or an over tank heat lamp?
-Is there a particular brand you would stay away from?
-Is there a particular brand that you really like? (Remember, I am a bit tight on the funds right now...)
-Is there anything else I ought to know about this...?
Thanks so much, any advice is appreciated!
