Thanks for the advice. I'll grab that up for now and if I'm still finding it lacking I'll go to the herpstat and still have a nicer one for his UTH, so nothing will be wasted except the ones I'm replacing anyway. Would be best for me to wait a bit on the more expensive one anyway as my last two paychecks have mostly gone to utilities thanks to the power company... billed us estimates the last few months THEN actually read our meter and slapped us with a huge bill out of nowhere. and here I thought we were just doing a good job conserving energy.

Thank you so much for the advice, he's my only snoot and I never plan on having a huge collection (plans currently for leopord geckos and 2 more BPs down the road) so I might as well spoil the crap out of them.
