I just ordered a Ranco from Reptile Basics. I have heard nothing but good things about this. I am quite excited for it get here. I believe in purchasing a quality thermostat if you can afford it. Now I can feel secure about regulating my heat sources. I was using a very cheap thermostat and I constantly had to adjust it according to the temperatures in my room where I have my snake. I am so glad that I can have peace of mind now from purchasing a quality thermostat.
