    What Thermostats do you use?
    I am getting ready to build out a DIY rack system for BPs and I want to know, what thermostats are you using, do you like/recommend them, and what type of setup are you running them on?

    There are a ton of threads on this if you use the search function, but we all enjoy talking about our gear. :D

    I've always used Johnsons and Rancos and never had any problems. When I end up putting together my incubator I plan on using one of the higher quality Vivarium Electronics (VE 200 or 300 series) T-stats. Next chance I get I plan to order some of the VE-100 from reptilebasics. Rich makes some quality goods. They only cost a few bucks more than the Johnsons and Ranco but they are stackable and look nicer, which is a huge plus to me and many others.

    If you want Quality but less expensive, I really like Ranco.

    if you want to pay a little more herpstat or Helix are really good.

    I have 4 Helix to run my racks and one Ranco to regulate my oil filled heater.

    My first therm was a helix - it was easy enough to use and I just stayed with them. I've never had any issue with any of them.
