Herpstat?

I'm thinking about getting a herpstat due to the fact that I hear there are alot of problems with Helix's. So I was wondering I know alot of people use each kind and I'm thinking about just the herpstat or herpstat II so I was wondering on recommendation what would you would... recommend ha ha and the pros and cons. Thanks in advance!

herpstat II has two outputs...

cons... :confuzd:

I was kinda leaning that way... I don't know... tough choices these days.

I've said this a bunch today, I should probably just write a post and save the link.

Herpstats are great. I currently have one, but another will be here tomorrow. My temps are always in the 91.7-92.1 degree range. Always! Dion, the owner is top notch. Answers your email extremely fast, pretty much like being in a chat room with the guy.

If you order it in the morning/early afternoon, it goes out THAT DAY! Shipping is super cheap through USPS and arrives quickly.

So far I have found nothing to complain about while owning my herpstat. I guess that's why I just sent another $115 to him. :D


:salute:

So did you go straight Herpstat or Herpstat II?

I just went with the herpstat. Herpstat II doesn't seem worth it to me. I don't night drop, and a Herpstat II is a little bit more expensive than 2 Herpstats. It's like $1 more or something... when I get a pair of breeding snakes, I'll get the Herpstat II because I'm going to build a small rack for them.

I think I might go that way then as I don't night drop either and until I'm allowed to get more which looks like probably a year or so away unfortunately I don't need more than an outlet... although I can for sure see me upgrading to the Herpstat II at some point in the next year or so.

Thanks for all the input!

Depending on the enclosure and types of heating elements you have a herpstat II could help. If you have an under the tank heater on the hot side and cold side you could have a probe on each UTH to keep one at 92 degrees and the other at 80-82 degrees. Would really help if you were using a glass aquarium! I like the herpstat pro and have 2 of them. It is the the cheapest per channel and has the night drop and tons of other features like Hi / Lo alarms and reminders. Expensive up front, but $320 for effectively 4 proportional thermostats is cheap compared to buying 4 single channel herpstats at $115.00 each ($460.00 total). You end up saving $140.00 over the long run!

Well I just got my Herpstats today. I bought (2) Herpstats. I want to be able to control both high and cool sides using UTH. I bought herpstats so if I ever did have a problem with one I still would have the use of the other, if I bought the herpstat 2 I would be out of luck till it got fixed. I must say it was the best $200.00 I have spent in awhile. I dont have to screw with turning a knob up and down. I feel so much more secure with the temps.

Just set it and leave it.
