I dont know alot about the brands of thermostats but i was refered to Spyder Robotics Herpstat 1. I have used it for quite some time no problems and easy to configure ill post a link below to give you more information. If you have problems with humidity, when i use to have tanks i used a towel folded it a few times and placed on the top of the tank. Just be sure not to have the towel close or on the lamp. Normally the shed will be all in one piece if the hunidity is where it needs to be. It varys as to when the shed is going to start but the first good sign is when the eyes cap off. They will look a cloudy blue color and thats when i make sure the humidity is where it needs to be. Keep the humidity bumped up until shed is complete, once complete you can let it go back down a little. Just so we are on the same page i keep my humidity 50%+ when a snake is about to shed i bump it up to around 80% until shed is complete. I hope all goes well and if you have anymore questions keep em coming hope this was helpful
