Zoomed Repti-Temp Rheostat

what do you guys/girls think about them???worth bying??

You are better off getting a thermostat.

Just get the Repti Temp 500R Thermostat.

Only if you have to. I'd use it only as a stop gap untill you can find an appropriate thermostat.

Good Luck!

i only want to use reliable equipment for my snakes. I personally don't consider the zoomed thermostats or analog gauges reliable.

Yeah its a POS, but in my situation, it was the only temperature control i could buy locally. It will work, just play with it for a while to make sure its the correct temperature. Honestly though, just buy a ranco and return the rheostat when you can.

In all honesty, I don't think a Ranco or Johnson controls thermostat is necessary for a single setup. If you plan on just having one snake, get a reptitemp 500r. If you plan on getting a lot more snakes soon, get a ranco or Johnson.

Get the Repti-Temp 500R by ZooMed not the rhenostat, it sucks I know. Had that and a dimmer and I was constantly changing the setting now I haven't touched the thermostat in days cuz it's all set and ready to go.
