Son getting ball python. Cage setup help please

[Animals As Leaders]

I use the reptitemp 500r on my quarantine tubs and it works great I have never had any problems with it. There are some more questionable ones on the market that are more expensive but seem to fail more often.

In my opinion, the reptitemp is the best single setup thermostat at a good price ($25). The only downside is it is hard to find in stores so ordering online is the best option.

I guess everyone can have different luck you know. I heard that they kinda suck but you had a good run you never know. Its always good to spend the extra buck, but if you can't I don't think either tstats are bad until you can upgrade. It should be understood with tstat that you GET what you PAY for lol. And I guess theres a little luck involved in terms of long term reliability
