I'm a novice but have done some reaseach and made the decision to go with Herpstat.
I'm currently using a UTH with an Inkbird controller ($35 on amazon). it works...but it's an on/off controller and if it fails - my snake is cooked.
I went with the Herpstat for a couple reasons....it's a gradual on/off and the failsafe is in the off postion - a cool snake can be warmed while a cooked snake is cruel to the animal.
It's more expensive but good insurance against an injured pet. I also found a sale online with free shipping so that worked out too.
Good luck to you.
