Everyone here is just trying to help you and make sure your BP remains safe and happy. You're telling people not to tell you what to do, when you asked for advice. T stats are an essential item for reptiles. Every animal that needs heat needs a safeguard (the thermostat) from that heat. Dimmers only dim heat. They don't adjust for fluctuations in temps. Even aquarium heaters have build in thermostats so the fish don't get cooked. As someone that started with the cheap hydrofarm T stats (25 bucks and free shipping on amazon), I spent 400 for a herpstat four and never plan on going back. I like knowing that the T stat is making sure my temps are stable. It doesn't make much sense to me to play around with the dimmers and temperature all the time when you can just set a thermostat and not worry about it.
No actually I never asked for help with my temps or t stats. I think maybe 3 people responded to my question with a solution that I didn't say I already tried I'n my first post.
