    Herpstats. They are the safest on the market currently.

    Herpstat and Ranco. You won't get a safe, accurate, and reliable thermostat for cheap. The average will be $100+.

    I own every kind of thermostat from the cheapest all the way to the most expensive. With out a doubt the most expensive one was worth every penny.

    Go with the herpstat. It costs a lot initially, but you will never look back!

    Vivarium Electronics VE-200 and http://www.reptilebasics.com/thermostats and Herpstat http://www.spyderrobotics.com/store/

    Keep in mind that a reliable thermostat is the single most important thing when it comes to husbandry. Yes there are cheaper thermostat however they often fluctuate, break down and need to be replaced.

    Best thing you can do is invest in a good thermostat it will be worth it in the long run.

    why would you go cheap on an item that can not only burn your snakes, but can also burn your house down? A lesson I've learned in life, you get what you pay for.

    I have both a Herpstat1 (older version), and a new Herpstat2 and I can't say enough good things about them. Very user freindly and well worth the cost.

    I've heard of a user on here that had a fire and lost his collection. I have no idea whether it was because of his thermostat, but it just drives home a point that it's a potential risk, and not something to cheap out with.

    Would you buy a cheap parachute?
