    Thinking about a new thermstat
    All right as the title says im thinking about a new thermostat. I currently have a ranco and im not too sure i like it. I have different temps in each tub which i know is kind of common. However my biggest issue is i have it set to 106 and some of the tubs are barely at 90 on the hot sides. Im thinking about getting a proportional and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on good ones. Thanks for your time

    The only proportional thermostat I use is Herpstat and I love it. I've also heard great things with Helix and the VE (reptilebasics.com) models.

    Herpstats are by far the best, I have a few herpstat 4's now and they all are great.

    I have a VE200 and it works great. I think any quality proportional will serve you well.

    I love my VE300 and will be ordering a VE300X2 when I can Rich at reptile basics is great and the unit was very easy to set up and has worked flawlessly for me :D

    VE-200 has worked perfect for me. No complaints whatsoever :)

    I have 2 ve-300 and a ve-300x2.
    Love the alarms and how they sit on the rack.
    Great product and service.

    every product made by Spyder Robotics (the guys who make Herpstats) are great, defiantly the best choice.
