As for the OP, for a few bucks more you can get a Johnson or Ranco t-stat. They also show up used sometimes in the classifieds for not much $$.
wow i cant believe i couldnt think of plugging in a strip outlet....
what do you mean identical?

If i got a more expensive one I would probably get the ranco ETC one

what do you have to do with the wiring? the $60 ranco and johnson ones say you have to wire it.

ehh. i probably dont really need it, but i might be able to use it in the future...

what temp should i keep the UTH on during the day then? or all the time? 85º?

is the reptile basics a good place to buy it from? + its $70 w/ shipping.
