Re: For those who are mad at me.
How do you go about setting one of these up, or can you send me a link and show me which one I should look into?
Re: For those who are mad at me.
Set up what? The thermostat? Those come pre-wired or raw. Go to www.reptilebasics.com and get the pre-wired one, it'll be $75. You can get flexwatt(Rich will wire it for you for free, you just have to buy the cord and connectors-$3) at the same time and save on shipping. Either the Ranco or the Johnson Controls is fine to use, they are relatively the same. The JC tstat is a bit smaller bodied though.
When you get it, you will want to tape your probe to the flexwatt surface using some foil tape or duct tape(duct tape gets messy when heated though) and set the temp on the thermostat(say 95-96 to get 92-94 in the tub). It's very easy to set up and once you get your temps figured out, it will do everything for you.
Did you find that soldering iron? You'll definitely need it to make holes in that tub(drilling sometimes makes the tub crack, and the holes are rougher).

Actually I don't think he ships to Canada
Re: For those who are mad at me.
I'm pretty sure BeanFarm does, and they have thermostats too(just stay away from the crappy analog ones, they like to fry things). Their prices are relatively the same as Rich's too, so that helps.

Well the cheapest one I saw on bean farm was a herpstat for $109.00
