Anyone have experience with Inkbird itc-306T Thermostat?

the 600w Exo Terra thermostat says it's dimming and pulse proportional, would that be better than the Inkbird, which is on/off

So I should rather go with that one? I can throw on that bit of money.

absolutely. that type of control is far superior and will help the thermostat run safer and last longer.

I would get it.

Honestly i would look at what passive safeties the T-stats in your area have. That is most important. Then i look for proportional over an on/off model.

Have you looked in ISTAT? From what i hear they are great from all the Euro guys. I know they have come over to the states now but I'll stick to my Herpstats.

Aight thanks all of you, I'll look into the suggestions but probably gonna go with the 600w Exo Terra therm! I just wanted to get my things straight before I get my first snek.
