I have a herpstat at the moment controlling the temps for my rack, but I need another t-stat because I'm setting up an incubator.

The last thing I want is the thermostat shorting and frying my eggs/snakes. I've heard that some t-stats will fry after power-outages, too.

What brands would you say are the ones to avoid? Which would you not want to incubate eggs with?

(Ranco ETC-111000 is my favorite so far. Does anybody have any horror stories about that model?)
