Can I use this as my thermostat?

It's the WH7016C Digital Temperature Controller. Says it can be used for domestic freezer, water tanks, refrigerator, industrial chiller, bolier, steamer, industrial equipments and other temperature-controlled systems. I saw another just like it that said it was made for aquariums. Comes with a sensor probe and it has a control range of -50~110 C. Seems like it will work well but I wanted to get some opinions before I buy it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-WH7016C-...ht_8922wt_1026

Sorry, evan, but there is no way I would trust my snakes to that temp controller. It looks light weight and I can't seem to find the max wattage it can handle in the specs. I see the amps, but not the max watts.

Ummm, from Hong Kong. I don't know if I would trust it, for living animals at least. If you buy it, you could always just do a long term test; plug it in and use it (non-animal) and keep checking the temps at different times of the day and night. After a couple of months you should be able to either comfortably use it, or trash it.

I need something that I can use now that I don't have to spend $100 on. But I really don't want to buy another rheostat because the last one quit working.

At the very least I would go for a Hydrofarm. They can be found for $30 or lower.

sorry...trying to delete...

I wouldn't trust that device, a hydro farm would work better until you can get a herpstat or helix or one of the RBI VE- series proportional t- stats.

I would get a hydrofarm for now

I'm gonna go with a Hydrofarm, thank you all :)

That temp controller says it is for 220v , rather than 110v .
