    Ranco thermostat link please

    I am in the market for a thermostat and have searched the forum for recommendations. I have seen the Helix and Herpstat ones, as well as the Johnson one, but can't seem to find a link for the Ranco brands. When I Google it, I get hits that seem more directed at HVAC stuff rather than reptile care. For those of you that use the Ranco, where did you get it?

    Honestly, I prefer to see something up close and personal before I buy it. I don't understand why no pet store in my city sells thermostats!

    Thanks for the help

    Re: Ranco thermostat link please

    My husband made me a thermostat that looks just like the Ranco and the Johnson which I didn't realize until I started shopping for one. The only reason I decided not to use his was that the probe isn't long enough and he says he can't really take it apart and start over. However, he says it costs pennies to make using stuff he already had in the garage. Maybe I'll just get him to make me another one...he was so proud of it :

    Thanks for the links though, I'll let him decide!
