    Herpstat and other temperature regulators.
    So I need a temperature regulator for my UTH but the herpstat is a little to rich for my blood. I have a thermostat, I just need to make sure the temperature stays at a constant level. If you have any ideas or advice please share, it'd be much appreciated! :)

    I meant thermometer up there, if I had a thermostat I wouldn't have made the thread. :c

    There are a few cheaper options:

    Hydrofarm: these are the cheapest thermostats commonly accepted. They aren't very accurate but are better than nothing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000NZZG3S

    Then there is the Ranco. These are much better than the hydrofarm but still not nearly as good as a Herpstat.

    I'm with the merchant and will recomment Reptile Basics but I use one of the Vivarium Electronics models they produce. I like the stack-able feature. (I have heard good things about the Ranco therms btw.)

    I don't know how good this next items is but I looked into it for a while. It's from the folks at BigApple Herp. Like Ranco it is a sidemount.

    I don't think I trust that thermostat from big apple herp. They don't list any actual numbers on its product page. If it really is really accurate wouldn't they want to say so?
