Somebody help! Something's wrong with my snake! :(

No you're right... I'm just ashamed I can't get the money... I want to get her the new Hygro-Therm by Zilla or Zoomed the controller thing...I can try and swing by petsmart for a thermostat tomorrow.

I know how you feel - I'm sorry you've been sick. Hope you're doing better! I am not familiar with the hygro-therm by zilla, but the hyrofarm t-stat off amazon is far superior to the Zoomed controller. That is just essentially a dimmer. The hydrofarm is an actual t-stat and only about $5 more.

Actually, here's one for only $26 with free shipping!

I use one of these with my q/t rack and also as one of my backup t-stats. They aren't perfect, but they work pretty darn good in a pinch - and they're far better than a dimmer.
