Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
I've used everything; Helix, Herpstat, rheostats... and I'll never use anything other than Herpstat again. Herpstats are awesome, and they are fairly cheap for the accuracy and functionality.
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
i have a johnson controls and a helix. I enjoy my helix and will be getting more but will probably try a herpstat eventually because people say great things about them.
i had a reptitemp 500R and HATED it if that matters. lol
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
I use Helix DBS 1000's. Never used anything else though.

Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
I have lots of Helix DBS1000's. I used to use Herpstat and they are a fine product, I just prefer Helix now.

Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
if you are controlling multiple cages that are the same as far as size and heat set up, you can't go wrong w/ johnson's.
and for those breeder racks you can get a johnson's w/ nightdrop, as far as i know reptile basics is the only ones who sell these types of thermostats.
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
im using the Helix DBS1000 ^-^
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
I have several Rancos and Herpstats, mainly use herpstat for the BP and to run my incubator, and I use ranco for my colubrids and for the space heater.
I love my herpstats especially my herpstat ND for my breeders. :gj:
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
I love my herpstat pro's. Never buying another brand again.
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
Herpstat Pro FTW!!! It's really a bargain when you consider it can run 4 different heating set ups independently. And their customer service is top-notch to the max.
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
Lets see...
I have 1 Herpstat (a very good stat), 2 Johnsons, 1 (in use) Ranco, and 1 ZooMed. I used to have 5 ZooMeds, but sold 4 to folks I helped with setups.
The Johnson, so far, is my top favorite. It's the one that keeps temps the most accurate, even when the heat sources are slightly different (ie small wattage differences).
A note on ZooMed stats: They ARE a good stat to have when you're just starting out or just can't afford the big ones. Yes, from time to time you will find a dud that just won't work, but all you have to do then is return it to the manufacturers for a replacement. All 5 Reptitemp stats I had worked perfectly for over a year. The one I still have is STILL working great. :) So don't think they're crud just because they're cheap - they're a lot better than a rheostat or nothing at all. :D

Yea Johnsons are good if you don't want to or don't have the money to spend on a Herp or Helix.

Just to take this off topic for a second, there are days I WISH I had two johnsons.
Re: What Thermostat Do You Have Or Like?
Just today switched form the Helix (which was awesome) to the Herpstat PRO (with blue LCD).. I love it.
