    Best website to purchase Ranco thermostats?
    I currently use the ReptiTemp 500R for my UTHs.

    I stack my tubs but sometime this week or next week I'll be getting a rack for the Ball pythons with flexwatt as belly heat so I don't know if the ReptiTemp will be safe enough to use to control the flexwatt.

    What's the best place on the web to purchase a Ranco? And how well does the Ranco work?

    I know some people on here have it and love it but I would like some other opinions on it.

    Also, are there any other thermostats that would be pretty good at controlling the heat on flexwatt but aren't too pricey?

    I just googled and found this: http://www.climatedoctors.com/items/...?itemid=429705 Way cheaper than I thought they'd be. I'm gonna save up for a Herpstat. $110. Proportional, though, so it's worth it.

    I've a Reptitemp on Flexwatt and I occasionally get some Fluctuation. Nothing dangerous, though, as I check on them several times a day out of boredom. Others do just fine and I'd say don't worry, but I'm looking to move up, myself!

    Keep in mind, that link is to the base unit only. It doesn't have the power strip pre-wired into it. You would have to do this yourself or find someone to do it for you...

    Reptile Basics for sure.


    If I can help it I don't buy from anyone but Rich at RB. I own a double and single ranco from him

    Jeff Ronne at Boaphile sells them too. I think they will cost about the same either way. One seller's price includes shipping, one doesn't...

    You can never go wrong with RBI! Rich pre-wires them however you want, grounded, ungrounded and he even makes a plastic stand you can buy to mount it on.
