    Check out spyder robotics and reptile basics. Any of their products are going to be legitimate. Stay away from the petco Zilla thermostats. They can work in a pinch but are not reliable.

    You can usually get a reliable model for around 100$.

    Re: Cheap but Reliable Thermostat?

    Herpstat intro will be the most affordable and reliable t-stat I would recomend.

    Remember a thermostat is the single most important piece of equipment you will need.

    I have some of my herpstats that have been running for 9 years now, so when you look at it this way $100 is a really good deal.

    Oh yeah, a hundred is a good deal. I just don't want to buy a $200+ plus shipping thermostat, if a hundred dollar one would work just as fine.
