I'm glad I can use the eco earth. I've liked it in the past because of its re-usability and looks.

I've ordered my Herpstat (3 day shipping, I'm so excited!) but I won't have a t-stat in the meantime. I'm going to add the thermometer temporarily inside the cage under the substrate because later I'm going to use that one for ambient temperatures. But I definitely want to be monitoring that UTH closely until the t-stat gets here.

Can someone explain the t-stat more clearly? I've never dealt with one before so I'm not even sure I have the right concept. I ordered the Herpstat 1 Basic. Does the thermostat have a probe? Is that the one that goes in between the UTH and glass? I'm guessing I plug the heat mat into the t-stat and the probe detects temperature and controls the wattage to the UTH.

Also the power strip that I mentioned in my OP.. does anyone know what that is? It still sounds so awesome and I could definitely use it if I end up needing a CHE or decide to light the cage.

I'm so glad I'm getting some good responses. Thank you guys
