Well I moved my reptiles into my big closet, and I have a space heater that I use to keep it around 81 the best I can. I hooked up my old hydrotherm thermostat to it and it worked for a while, then it stopped. I just placed the probe in one of the air holes of the tubs to keep the temp steady.

Are there any thermostats (reasonably priced) to control a space heater? Is this what Ranco/Johnson controls are for? I just can't find anything online
