Anybody know a website that sells cheaper herpstats?

I don't own any other brands, so i couldn't comment on whether they would be good alternatives, but i've been very happy with the 3 herpstats that i have.

This is what I did. There was something wrong with the checkout on their site so they called one of their resellers gave him my name and got him to give me their sale price. Great customer service.

The Herpstat 2 is only $56 more right now, and the Herpstat 1 is sold out, so that might help your decision. ;)

They aren't cheap, that's why they're worth buying :gj:

Herpstat basic X 2 = $198

My personal preference is to have a thermostat for each rack and one for each incubator.

There is a difference between cheap and least expensive. Expandability and dependability generate a higher initial cost with a lower over time total. (2cents)

The herpstats are cheap. All the reptile thermostats are actually. early this year my work bought a dual zone proprtional thermostat. That is all just temp no features at all it was 395$ oh did I mention no probes either... They are only 100$ each so 600$ plus shipping insuracnce and taxes. 200$ for a dual zone thermostat is not expensive at all. The ecozone and herpkeeper are 100$ and 200$ more as far as that goes.

Agreed. We're very lucky to have a specialized piece of equipment for a reasonable price. All too often in niche hobbies the gear is massively expensive because of the small quantities being produced.

lol well i was right they just brought out a new one, but i think its just cosmetics that are new. its red. looks cool (:
