Thermostat dealers and Quarentine question

[Alkaurkharim]

Ok first, I'm trying to find a second thermostat, but nobody in my area even has an expensive one! And the dummy at once store, *I hate her* said they don't even exist o_O The cheapest one I can find is lllreptile.com They have Zoo-Med 500watt thermostat, which is the one I have now so I know it works. Does anyone know of a place to get one even cheaper? Or maybe a better one for the same price.

And a question about quarentine. I want to quarentine my new BP, but I really really do not have any other place in my house to do it. I am wondering if it's possible to have an effective quarentine, by closing off the area with a curtain? I can show a picture later after I have set it up. I will hand a curtain covering the entire area of the tank except a small spot at the bottom to let air circulate. Would this work well enough?

Careful with the one at lll reptile. Someone bought the one from there and it didn't have a probe. I think LLL has the zoomed repti temp 500, and the one with the probe is zoomed repti temp 500R.

Where do I get a thermostat then O_O I dunno where to look now, I definately need the probe. Can anyone tell me where to get one T_T I wish PetCo had another one today. I got mine from there in June, but it was severely discounted *no idea why, it works perfectly*

Is there another Petco you can go to? I have two I got one from Petco (on Clearance) and one from a reptile pet shop.

ESU thermostat
ZooMed ReptiTemp 500R (with probe)
ReptTemp rheostat

i don't know how cheap you are looking to go, but i ordered my thermostat (the first one) here and it has been totally worth it as far as controlling the temps in my tank.

I also got my ZooMed 500R on clearence at PetCo for like 6$. There is no other petco in my area that I can go to T_T Today I went to PetCo, PETsMART, and Benson's *a local pet store*. Nobody had anything o_O
I'm really hoping not to spend more then 25$ on a thermostat T_T I have a week to find one, but its getting on my nerves the last few days searching.

Here is one online for $24.49. Don't know anything about this company though. http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=75

here's one for $22.79 from reptiledirect.com: http://www.reptiledirect.com/index.a...ROD&ProdID=112

I think I'm gonna get the one from Reptiledirect, or maybe even one of those ESU Thermostats.

I notice Reptile Direct has one of them for 24$ too.

i have the esu thermostat and i really like it a lot. it is a very worthwhile purchase. i'll let you know if i see it for less. the esu from reptile direct actually is nicer than the one from petsmart that i linked to earlier. it has room for three plugs whereas the one i got from petsmart only has one.
