You can buy a new probe from Helix and they are like 20.00 + shipping. Had a rat get loose in my snake room and chew one up and good..

Well that is only one reason you shouldn't leave a rat in with your snake. What if the rat decided to chew on your snake instead?

Use Google images to see what a feeder can do to a snake with left alone.

Thank god it was just the thermostat and not your snake. Seriously guys, I don't understand why this is still a conversation we need to have.

I know, people are learning every day, and that's great, but .... it's just frustrating.

if you can find out what kind of temperature probe the manufacturer has used, if there is a product number on the probe, you can try to get the right spare part cheaply:

www.digikey.com <-- for manufacturers and electronics engineers and electronics prototyping supplies, they have thousands of temp probes. yep, thousands. you just need to find one that is the same, or that is exactly equivalent.

apart from that, different companies use different temperature probes from different suppliers and with different characteristics. so you cannot just buy a temp probe from any supplier, it needs to be exactly the right one, compatible with your thermostat. so that one from helix for 20 dollars that freaky_frog suggests may not be the right one. the supplyer of your thermostat is the first adress to go to, hopefully they have the right spare part, or can at least tell you the correct technical data on the probe. with the right data, you can again try digikey.

I left it in there because i had to work i guess my lil guy wasnt hungry but this is gon be the last time i do this

Error code E3 told FreakieFrog that it was a Helix tstat that was being used.

Well that was what my Helix's read when a probe goes out. Just a educated guess really.

I have a hydrofarmm
