I just have one snake and I don't plan on getting any more for a while, I'm maxed out on critters right now, so I was looking for something that's not $80+ since I don't really need one that advanced, just something to control temps.
OP I have also heard a ton of bad stuff about Alife, which was why I asked about the other brand, which has good reviews, but is a little more pricey but not by that much just a couple of bucks I think.
