hey denis, if you really want a ranco(single or dual) i'll get one to you at cost. they cost me about 51.00 a piece plus whatever way you want them wired. helix is way better and should be around the same as a dual ranco.

hey besides for the night drop does the herpstat II have anything better than the "regualr" herpstat?

I have a regular herpstat, and it has a nightdrop... the output wattage is a little higher on the II, and I'm sure there's some other advantages that I haven't researched much. Check out Matt's site, I'm sure he has lots of info on Herpstat/Herpstat II. :) http://www.mgreptiles.com

Oh hush Adam... If you want to buy me a Helix, I would gladly use it :)

The difference between the HS 1 and the HS 2 is that the HS 2 is a dual t-stat combined into one unit. I like it and it does a good job. Keeps temps wonderfully consistant(within .1 or .2 degree). I only use it on Amani's tub to keep both sides at a constant 95 and 84. It is more expensive, but it saved me money not having to buy two Helixes or two Herpstat 1's. Know what I mean, Vern? :)

what do you guys think about the ESU Reptile temperature controllers? i have one for vanessa and it's awesome(IMO).

Sorry to be blunt, but they are very cheaply made and a bunch of doodie. I've heard of them sticking in the on position and frying the heating element it is "controlling", causing a fire, or in the off position it sets your snake up for an RI if you don't catch it in time.

I prefer to stick with something reliable and much more consistant than those. I used one once and after that I could have just pulled my hair out. It was incredibly inconcistant... It just seemed dangerous that that itty bitty thing can control 1000 watts...

currently im running on the ESUs .. so far so good im going to getting something better but for now thats the best i can do.

* Warning! Warning * I did something like that too, because I couldn't go w/a bigger unit, and ended up frying one! AAAAAACK!!!! Such a saaaaaaad way to find out it wasn't good enough! :cry: :cry:


Now I've got bigger, better t-stats on everything, and am looking at a means of keeping electricity/heat, when our power goes out.

what are everyones views on..
