    Which Thermostat?
    I did a search but it only turned up threads from 2011 and older and I figure there's been some new ones hit the market since then.

    I'm going to order some heat tape from Reptile Basics for a DIY rack so if they carry something you guys recommend I'll go that route. They only seem to carry the Vivarium Electronics brand though. If those are good, which model? There's 5 different models and being new to this I'm not sure which features I really need!

    I don't necessarily have to get it from RB, if there's a better one somewhere else I'll do that. I don't want to spend a fortune on it but I also don't want to buy the cheesiest one out there.

    Can I get some suggestions and if possible, links to them?

    Thanks in advance!! :D

    It all depends on the amount of watts you will need. Tape length determines what you could potentially consume.
