Tragic day for my snakes.

I was using https://www.amazon.com/Zilla-Reptile...ank+thermostat which did a wonderful job for 5 years. until it didnt. I just check to verify what the failure was, it runs the heat no matter what, and turns the led indicator off once it reaches the set temp. there simply was no way for me to know beyond checking the obvious.

Oh no.. Yeah, I've learned not to go cheap on thermostats, but thankfully nothing terrible has happened with mine.

I started out the hobby with 3 jumpstarts. They just gradually became very inaccurate, and thankfully I was only able to keep track of this using a digital temp gun. They all became useless/dangerous to use within a year, so I updated to herpstats.

It's really true when people say not to go cheap on thermostats. If you want to invest more money in anything at all, the first thing should be the thermostat.
