Mine was $30.(zoomed reptitemp 500R) Just sayin. Id still go with the one that I got.
edit: ps i just saw the Tstat you posted thats the one I didnt get. I guess its alright since it has the suction cup and you shouldnt have to worry about the problem i type after this. Also if the 110º turn of works thats also good. I guess you dont really need it though since you have the suction cup and dont have to worry about the probe moving.
Also understand that you have to keep the thermostat probe ON the uth. The snake can move it, and thats bad... If it comes out of the substrate and is sticking up the thermostat things "I need to give the UTH more wattage so its at the right temp" When really the UTH is at the right temp, its just the PROBE is at the wrong temp. Easy way to get high temps, and this makes me wonder how a thermostat can be much better then a rheostat when this happens...
FYI petsmart kinda isnt good. lol. I got alot of my stuff off of reptilesupply.com and its probably cheaper than if you got it in a store, even with shipping...
Also big tanks arent that much of a big deal. I wouldnt go with the 10 because you will just have to buy a bigger tank, and then figure out how to un stick the UTH with out breaking it, or buy a new one... I bought a used 38 tall like i said, it was $20 and came with almost everything needed and have had my BP in there since she was a baby.
