Hello,

I am working on getting a rack system set up for my growing collection of ball pythons to help with space (Having them all in tanks is starting to get a little overwhelming! Mostly due to my red tail's enclosure taking up a lot of space). I've been doing some research into thermostats and what UTH to use with it. Right now I only have 4 ball pythons but I do plan on getting more in January and breeding the ones I currently have. I will be housing the babies in the rack as well. I understand that this will be an investment and I may need to throw down a good amount of cash for a good one. It doesn't need to be the best thing on the market as I am just starting out as a hobby breeder. The things I am looking for in a thermostat:

1. Fail safes that will cause it to either turn off or fail towards a cooler temperature in case it does fail. (Safety is key to me when it comes to my animals!
2. Consistent heating throughout the rack system.
3. Ability to adjust for day and night cycles. (not 100% necessary but I've read that it can help when it comes to breeding.)

So what thermostat would you recommend and what UTH source would you pair with it?
