dr del.....i didn't see a manual for the herpstat,does rich sell them?

Hi,

Sorry you are absolutely right - he doesn't have that type for sale on the website. :oops:

They are available as pdf's from beanfarms site though.

And here is a link to the manuals page on reptilebasics.

i have the same set up (20g, uth, bulb, etc) and i use a helix, i love it , super simple to use, never had a problem and never see the temp vary. FYI helix is on sale now on their website.

Thanks for all the help. I'll be ordering my thermostat very soon. :)

Reptile Basics. Is this a good place to order a decent thermostat for a reasonable price or should I shop around?

I highly recommend Reptile Basics!! They are great. Thats where I get most of my racking, and all of my caging. Hope this helps.

I purchased the Johnson A419 and I adhered the probe to the underside of my UTH. I then plugged the UTH into the thermostat. I put the set point at 95 degrees.

Right now, it's reading 80 degrees and keeps slowly climbing down. Is there some setting I should adjust? Or is it just stabilizing (it's been plugged in for about 30 minutes)?

I tried reading the manual that came with it and the .pdf file online but it's really complicated and I have no experience with these things. Help?

Well, I figured out what was going on and it's working properly now. However, I'd like to check the differential setting. The manual may as well be written Chinese for how well I understand it. :P Does anyone know how I can set the differential (to 1)?
