I personally would not cheap out on a t-stat. The hydrofarms are designed to heat dirt. The accuracy is poor the repeatability is also poor, and they have a high level of swing. I would be hesitant to use one with a single snake but ten? `
i second the herpastat...i run a pro with 4 outlets...one for incubator one for boa and one for ball pythons...and have a spare one for hatchling rack when i hatch some babies...

as said it is a 3 prong. i use the hydrofarm it with a power strip and it works just fine even though it's not designed for reptiles on a budget it gets the job done. even though i plan on getting something better for now it works just fine

I have both the herpstat 2 and the hydrofarm. I was on a budget and used the hydrofarm but when I had both corns and bp's to hot spot, I opted for the herpstat2 to maintain 2 different temps using flex watt tapes. I now use the hydrofarm as a backup, but as some have mentioned , the temp fluctuates a bit +/- 3 degrees. The hydrofarm is way better then a dimmer switch at least but if you have the funds, I'd go with the herpstat or vivarium ve 200/300. I also have the ve300 but the herpstat has better safety features.
