    Which thermostat

    Hi, everyone. I have a pretty simple question I hope:

    I plan to build a little 10 tub, 3'x3' melamine rack this summer. I'm not a breeder and this is just for my personal collection. I thought of going with the VE-100 thermostat from Reptile Basics as it's significantly cheaper than the 200 and 300, but seems to have nearly all of the same features.

    I see a lot of people recommending the VE-200 specifically, but I read that if the proportional thermostat fails it goes to full current and might kill your snakes. If the On/Off thermostat fails it goes to Off mode, which isn't a big deal where I live (ambient temperature's currently 82 degrees).

    I only want to buy one thermostat. Do you think the VE-100 is okay for my rack?
