Setup my new Herpstat Pro today.

I purchased the Herpstat Pro with Blue LCD and set it up today.

I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with it.

The Helix I had used was fine, but for an additional rack or two, and a future incubator, I decided to get the Herpstat Pro in order to run everthing (at the moment) from just one unit.

I really like the Hi/Lo temp alarms that can be set. The night-drop feature will be great for breeding (if I even decide to drop the temps at night). The ability to control the lighting, and simulate sunrise and sunset, while I don't believe the BP's gain anything from it, I think it's really cool and I'm using it until The next rack comes in. :)

I also like the fact that it's HIGHLY customizable, and extremely easy to use. Fine tuning the temps within 0.1 degrees is really nice too! Setting up 2 racks and the lighting feature took less than 5 minutes.

Just thought I'd share ;) I highly recommend it!

Very cool!

I think your camera captured the color of the blue display even better than mine! :D

Glad you like it!

lol. Feel free to use the pic if you'd like. I'm really happy with it Dion. Thank you very much!!! As I expand my collection I'm going with only Herpstat Pro's, the things are amazing! You just keep bringing in those blue LCD's! They look fantastic!!!

I can't tell you how incredibly easy everything has been since plugging it in, the temps are EXACTLY spot-on in every location, of every tub, in multiple racks. You do great work, keep it up!!!

PS.. Maybe consider getting with Justin Kobylka to get the uploader going for Mac's ;) ;)

I LOVE my Herpstat Pro!

The Blue LCD looks very nest indeed!

That is awesome looking, I don't have any of the "pros". :)

I really wish that the LCD display of a thermostat didn't make me actually want the thermostat so bad haha.

But right now I got a normal herpstat ND and a herpstat II ND so I'm unfortunately good for thermostats.

Nice! Glad to hear more praise for these. A Pro is on my shopping list for the next few months.

kewl. I too am adding one of those onto my shopping list.

Nice to hear good things about the Herpstat Pro. I've been using a Helix, but the Herpstats have more functionality and better prices. Methinks I'll be getting a Herpstat Pro for my racks very soon.

Has anyone used the Uploader package part? I like the text/e-mail possibilities, but haven't seen any comments or reviews on that feature.

Those are definitely features that I would LOVE! I haven't heard anyone talk about those either. I don't have a big enough collection (or wallet) for one of those yet, but believe me, it's on my list!!

Right now I have a Herpstat and Herpstat ND. Both work phenomenally; I couldn't be happier with them! Customer for life, that's for sure! :gj:

Congrats on your pickup!

I have a friend who has the uploader package, but as far as I know, they haven't messed around with it yet. When they do, I'll try to let ya know.

:D I have some blue lcds for ND's and II's on the way so hopefully first months of 2010 they'll be available. The blue screens definately look amazing and are worth the extra couple of bucks.

I appreciate all the great comments!

That is the same model I am buying once I have my rack built. Congrats on your new purchase! Great choice!

I have one on the way. After seeing the pic and hearing all the great feedback on top of what Ive already heard I cant wait to get it. Should be here in a few days. Gonna control my rack,display tank and that still leaves me with 2 probes to figure out something to buy for LOL

YES!!!!!!! I'll be needing a II sometime next spring, and I'm in love with the blue LCDs!

I have a Pro right now, and I love it to pieces! It's all Herpstats from now on!

Just thought I'd update my statement. We have the blue lcds in for the Herpstat ND's and Herpstat II's. They look just as nice as the Pro LCD. The text on the displays is bright white (my camera pics make them look like they have a red tint on my monitor :) )

I intend on grabbing some Herpstat ND's for my racks. Maybe Pro's if I decide to replace my helixes. We'll see ;)

I have a Herpstat Pro, and love it. It works perfectly. I especially like the night-drop feature

very nice..I will be picking up mine soon
