Converting 60hz to 50hz!

If I sell my herpstat, I'll be losing a LOT of money. Plus, I really like the stat, and it'd be harder to set all the snake up with a new thermostat when I move there.

I can understand not wanting to give up your herpstat. I wouldn't part with mine.

However, I think I might run into problems with the frequency. I believe the frequency in Holland is 50hz, and Dion (spyder robotics) says that it probably won't work there.

I'd hate to give up this great 'stat, so are any of you familiar with frequency converters? Is it even possible to safely convert these different frequencies?

I'd really appreciate some help, but please keep it simple because I don't know cow dung about any of this stuff. ;)

Thanks,
