Herpstat is MUCH better than Helix. All spiders spin. I have 17 balls in the same cage, is that bad? :devilish:

The folks at the Bean Farm are good people:

http://www.beanfarm.com

And they carry Helix and Herpstat.

I purchased my Helix from Reptile Basics last Friday, it arrived at my job yesterday. Fast turn around, great service! I highly recommend them!

After discussing thermostats with Adam a while back I decided to go with Helix...I mean, come on guys 10 years or so of keeping snakes with who knows how many different brands of stats, he knows what he's talking about. I ordered mine from LLLReptile on Friday and it came fedex today, I'll be setting that puppy up with my rack that just went in the box today for shipment tomorrow!

Props to Adam, bastages!:P /whispers to everyone *go to the dark side*

Jason

why would you need 3 of them? if they're all the same size tubs and in the same area ie...a rack, you would only need 1 to run each shelf or rack, now if you have 3 diff, kind of setups and need them at diff. temps, i'll shut up :P

Helix all the way for us! (and we're happy over here on the dark side! *whispers* come over to the dark side...we have cookies!!! :lmao: )

Here is a question that I have for those of you who use Helix (as this is my first one). When I ordered mine from Reptile Basics, he had two versions. One with ground and one without. I erred on the side of caution and paid $5 more for the grounded version. Was it necessary? Do you prefer grounded or does it matter?

Oh good question Robin. When I looked I also chose the grounded version. I know squat about electrical stuff but hey grounded sounded safer lol.

Are they homemade though? Satan always provides homemade cookies.

I had called helix and they told me the grounded one is for a metal rack so you dont get shocked. I left it at that because they know what they are doing. just letting you know what helix told me!
