    Good t stat for one snake
    Right now I have just one python a and I found a 4ft AP cage that will last a while until he gets too big. I'm currently using a hydrofarm t stat I've gotten from amazon and has seemed to work just fine in the past. With just one snake is it wise to jump up to a herpstat? I understand they are proportional and better overall than the turn on/off method I'm using now. I will be hooking it up to a RHP

    Yes!!! It took me a couple years into owning my first snake to get a herpstat but they are super nice, especially for a RHP, you wouldn't want it on/off all the time. You can set alarms, night drops, see what % power your heat is running at, I love them. 100% worth it. I've got 5 herpstats now and never had a problem with them.

    Herpstat is awesome. I'll also add a BP will not outgrow a 4ft AP cage

    An RHP is controlled best with a proportional controller. Well, in my opinion any heat mat, tape or panel is best with proportional control.

    Whichever model controller you get, just make sure it is a proportional.

    There are two types - pulse-proportional and dimming proportional. Either will work great.

    I have a Herpstat 2 for my boa and I love it. Definitely worth the money.

    Herpstat 2. There the bomb. Control 1 heat source & lights or 2 heat sources. The best Safety functions on the market too.
