Preferred Thermostat?

[Serpentine666]

I have a hydrofarm, but i was looking into higher quality therms once i get my pay check.

Herpstat, Vivarium Electronics and Boaphile Plastics Thermostat were the top three on my list. I've heard good things about them, but i know all have their faults and advantages.

So, people of bp.net, what are your personal preferences and why?

I have a herp4 no issues and did my research. I was looking at the vivarium ve2 but spent the xtra on the herp4, only because I can control more racks. The ve2 and herp2 were both priced about the same but the ve didn't offer a 4 probe setup. But one thing to keep in mind....this will be the single most important part of keeping healthy reptiles. Don't cheap out! I also have a helix. That works well. I just thing between the helix and ve2 get the ve2. I just got the herp4 so I didn't have to my more stats. Good Luck!

Herpstat all the way. I have two Herpstat 1s, a 2, and a 4. They are awesome and have never given my any issues.

I have two Herpstat 2s and two Heprstat 1s. Great product. Also right now they are running a sale on Herpstats until the 28th, 10% off so it is a good time to pick one up if you are going too. Best of luck whatever you decide.

A lot of it is personal preference. We use HerpStats. User friendly menu, night drops, alarms, security code lockout, etc... for $139.

Like mentioned- they are on sale right now. I recommend Mark from A+ Serpents. We have purchased 5-6 HerpStats from him. Great service and he is an authorized distributor that will honor the current sale prices. We only use HerpStat 1's and HerpStat 2's.

The VE200 is a single output stat, so does not really compare to the herpstat2. While I have one of about every stat on the market, my personal preference by far is the herpstat line. I only currently have a 1basic and a 4, but that will be the only brand I purchase from now on. At least new, used stuff is always a crap shoot anyway.

Herpstat! I have a herpstat 1, and two herpstat 2's. Absolutely love them

Herpstats all the way I have a Herpstat 2, Herpstat 1, and I got one of the original Herpstat models that they don't even make anymore for my incubator. All of them work like a dream

I have esperience with hydrofarm, helix, and a herpstat 2. The herpstat would be my choice over all of those. User friendly and runs flawlessly, you can almost set it and forget about it.

I picked up a VE-300 at a reptile expo a few weeks ago. Easy to set up and looks nice, so far very pleased with it.
