Need some help deciding..

So.. I've posted a thread, BUT now it's time to actually buy the rack.. And I mean tonight. :)

I'm going to purchase the economy line 6 level. Final price with shipping $325

The Thermostat I'm still up in arms about.. I was thinking this. http://www.spyderrobotics.com/store/...134a2dceaa276d

Just the basic one.. So.. Is that a good one to go with? Same with the rack. Is it a good choice? Granted about $350 is my max for tonight and I want to have it here before Tinley..

I think that you will be happy with this setup, personally I would go with the Herpstat 1 over the Herpstat intro, but either will work

Animal plastic racks are great however if you go with the economy line I would recommend that you have a heated snake room preferably above 76, if you do not than the regular line would be best for you.

Herpstat t-stat is a great choice. :gj:

I want to upgrade, BUT i'm tight on money right now and need the rack to save the room. It will however be fine room wise. :) My room has been doing great on temp. If not I will bring down the heater we have to make sure. I'm still battling the RI that 1 snake brought in my collection... Don't need any more!

Why not buy one of their newer products like the Herpstat 1 or 2. Btw does anyone know the difference between the two? I presume it has to deal with number of outlets and wattage.

First off the Herpstat intro that he linked in the OP is one of the new ones

second the difference between the herpstat 1 and herpstat 2 is that the herpstat 1 has 1 outlet/probe and the herpstat 2 has 2 outlets/probes

What part are you concussed on? I'll try my best to explain it all but I need a starting point lol

Just like a car fuse. If you accidently overload or get a short the fuse gets burned out reducing the possibility of damaging internal electrical components. Fuses are replaceable and cheap.

..Everything.. lol. I know thermostats are used to monitor temperateness and make sure that the temps themselves do not go up to high. BUT I don't know where to set the probe, and pretty much what the more complex do. Like Some have a night time fall. I guess I know some basics, BUT I'm a little lost on the probe itself and how to calculate the wattage of the tape.
