Thermo/Hygro-Stats
Maybe I'm a control freak but I really like the idea of having everything spot-on and completely automated. I work 14 hrs a day so there's not much I can do if something goes awry at home, that's why I like to put technology in for some use.
For this, I looked at the HerpKeeper Pro Net that seemed like anything I could ever need to control my lil' girls' viv.

But I can't seem to find much reviews or comments or much anything about it and that makes me nervous for such a "magnificent product" (in theory)
The second I checked out was the EcoZone ECO500 seems like a similar product but I really don't get to understand fully how or where to connect everything.

I understand it gets the job done but I don't fully understand it.
The third and last but not least I found was the Spider Robotics Herpstat 6

Same thing, pretty much same functionality, even a similar display as the ecozone.
I ordered the herpkeeper but still haven't arrived and can still make up my mind.
What do you guys use and what do you recommend?!?!

Re: Thermo/Hygro-Stats
Herpstat is the only one I've used and I'm very satisfied with it.

Re: Thermo/Hygro-Stats
Funny story, I just basically asked the same question last night. My idea was
- AP enclosure
- Flexwatt UTH
- ProProducts radiant heat panels above
- 2 fluorescent light fixtures
- ProProducts Misting system
- Herpstat 6.
In theory, you could have the UTH, Radiant panels, fixtures, and mister all on separate channels. Have the probes monitoring everything constantly and making adjustments as necessary. I THINK this is a good idea but I'm still doing my research.
I like the idea of automation simply for the animals' sake. I feel that the more consistency I can provide, the better their life will be. Many are telling me this is overkill but at the same time, I don't want to strive to be a mediocre owner. I want to strive to give an animal as long and happy a life as I can in captivity.
