To simplify it, Herpstat is the thermostat and the number represents how many devices it can regulate. I know this sounds simple, but it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize this. Amazon might have 1 or 2 in stock (last I checked there was only 1) or even someone nearby could be selling one. Either way, you're probably going to be dropping a chunk of change on it.

I recently upgraded from Jumpstarts to the Herpstat2. The Jumpstarts were fine, but I did have to tinker with them (I had 2 - 1 for the UTH and 1 for the CHE) every couple of days to keep the temps where I wanted them. So I was ready for an upgrade.

I compared the Herpstat2 (redline) on Amazon to Spyder Robotics. It ended up cheaper at Spyder and I got it in 3 business days. I absolutely LOVE my Herpstat. What a huge step up in quality and features. I watched a quick Youtube video on setting my temps and times, and voila - done! If you have the financial means to skip the introductory therms, I would totally start with the Herpstat. Just be sure you're getting the appropriate model for the number of heat sources you're regulating.

You have the option to set daytime temps and nighttime temps, if you want a natural drop. I have the hotspot set to run at 90º day and night, ambient temps with the CHE set to run at 80º day and night. (edit to add: the actual thermostat is set at 93º for the hotspot, so the tempgun reads 90º at the bottom of the tub, 88º or so on top of the substrate)

No personal experience with the EZ, but I believe a few here use them and like them. Herpstat's a great product, so if the features meet your needs then by all means. I bet if you searched herpstat EZ on the forum it would pull up a few threads referencing them, and you can gather some firsthand feedback that way.

I ordered the Herpstat 1. It was very stressful with the Zilla thermostat, and I'm glad to get rid of it!!!!

You're going to love it!

I would recommend the Herpstat 2 at a minimum. Chances are you are going to end up with a second heat source or a second BP before too long. The Herpstat 2 is only $56 more than the Herpstat 1 ($195 vs $139).

I bought a Herpstat 1 for my first BP and shortly thereafter realized I needed to add a CHE (which ended up going on a Jumpstart). Recently, we purchased our second BP and I decided to expect the inevitable and purchased a Herpstat 6.

I didn’t know there was a 6! I was going to save and get a 4 but I have a five tub rack so a 6 will be great! Wish they made a 5!
