    Looking for a new thermostat
    My current thermostat is pretty old and im looking to upgrade.
    I tried searching on amazon and google for a digital reptile thermostat but havnt really found anything that looks good. I really dont know off the top of my head what brand my current one is actually.
    Can anyone give me some suggestions on what you would reccomend?

    After using Helix, Johnson, and Ranco I am now using strictly Herpstat stats. I got one with a rack when I bought some snakes and soon after that replaced all my stats with herpstats.

    Personally I am really liking my VE and they are getting great reviews:gj::gj:

    Reptile Basics

    Reptile Basics carries a couple different ones but the best question is, How much do you want to spend?

    Hey there,

    A thermostat is a important component of any Ball Pythons habitat, that's great you are looking to upgrade.

    I recommend a proportional thermostat. You can read about the difference between on/off and proportional thermostats here:http://www.reptilebasics.com/thermostat_faq

    My personal recommendation would be Reptile Basics Vivarium series of thermostats: http://www.reptilebasics.com/thermostats

    or

    Herpstats - I own a Herpstat and a Herpstat ND and I love them both. It doesn't get much better than Herpstat:http://spyderrobotics.com/index.html

    Grab a Herpstat, you can get a really great one for around or under $300, or their basic for about $100.

    Hands down: Herpstat.
