    The intro+ would be the lowest price (100$) with the best features. The herpstat 1 is a great all round one for an extra 40%. The HS2 and HS4 have 2 and 4 probes so will control 2 or 4 separate devises. Herpstats are cheater than the competition I don't know REBELLMORPH is on about. Unless you are comparing a on/off stat? There is a world of difference between them. Buy a good quality t-stat and save vet bills!

    For a single heat lamp, the herpstat intro + or the herpstat 1 would be best. The herpstat intro and herpstat 1 basic are a little cheaper, but lack a few safety features that I think are worth the extra cost in the herpstat intro + and the herpstat 1.

    The herpstat intro + costs less than a Helix DBS-1000 and is a much better unit. The Herpstat 1 costs the exact same amount as a helix and is a much better unit. The herpstat 2 and herpstat 4 cost more yes, but they have 2 and 4 times as many thermostat units as the helix does.

    Overall you get the least for your money with the helix.

    I seen this Question sooooo many times..but this is why we have forum and people to answer...:cool:

    I'm very happy with basic Herpstat for 2.5 years now..

    Thinking about Breeding and buying Rack for hatchlings I've decided to purchase another thermostat...

    yesterday I've ordered Herpstat 2 for controlling my present rack and future hatchling rack simultaneously...

    And thermostat witch I'm using now will take care of my DIY Incubator :gj:

    Thanks all!

    Decided on getting the Herpstat 1 Basic for $115 from http://www.spyderrobotics.com/store/
    Any better prices/ places to buy it?

    Last words on a better model thermostat?

    For the extra $24 dollars I would go with the herpstat 1

    Also I would make sure to pick up a spare pack of fuses.

    Okay. Yeah I was actually thinking I will get that one. I was looking at the humidity probe and they only have that for Herpstat 1. I couldn't edit the post though.

    Decided on getting to Herpstat 1 (not Herpstat 1 Basic) for $139 still from http://www.spyderrobotics.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1
    Was thinking of getting the humidity probe, but they don't have that for Herpstat 1 Basic.

    Again if there are any other suggestion/ better pricing please let me know :)

    Thanks again
