If you want anything above that such as the Herpstat or Helix, then your best bet would be a Herpstat Pro. It runs about $320, but has four separate thermostats in one small unit. Each thermostat can be set to run as Proportional or On/Off as needed, as well as, a few other features.
Are ranco's/Johnson's proportional? Also, you're an experienced keeper, am I going over the top with heating for one enclosure? I only have one bp and am building a viv for him to spend his entire life in, as well as look bad ass . Is this excessive or would it be really nice to have? Keep in mind the viv will be made of melamine/oak and with 40x25x18 as dimensions .

Cheers!
