Here is why I always say Herpstat. You have a rack full of snakes, say like 6-8 animals. Figure on half of those being morphs. Base morphs like spiders or albino boas or whatever run $300+ so I'd say for any decent sized rack you have $1,000 in animals at least. A Herpstat is $50 more than a Johnson and seriously if you are spending $1,000 on animals plus whatever the rack cost is it really THAT much of a difference in price?

Or... if the animal is a single display snake in a living/dining room or office do you seriously want to hear "click click" every 2 minutes with an on/off Johnson or Ranco? It is, has been and always will be Herpstat for me unless they give me a reason not to go with them.
