    @OP: you know your environment better than anyone on the forum, and if you believe a rheostat will work then go for it! i just want you to be informed on their use and how they work.
    Hey I knew id found you here again, thought it would be better to create a new thread than quote you again on the old one.
    What made me do this post was cause i talked with Brian Gundy you might know him, very experienced breeder. He recommended the dimmer cause it would not be turning on and of constantly. Also they are more affordable i think. Do they live long?
    i wanna be 120% sure. Also can I use both UTH and CHE on same herpstat? I always though every heat source should need their own stat unless identical.
