Space heater recommendations for snake room?

[Craiga 01453]

It does not have to be expensive, however you do not want one that has a internal digital thermostat, you want something like this plugged to a RELIABLE thermostat that can handle at least 1500 watts

The reason I do not recommend using or buying one with an internal digital thermostat is that it will be the first thing going bad leaving the heat source wide open and your room temp could reach 100. (been there)

I'm glad you mentioned this. My plan was to rely on the heaters tstat. I never would have thought of a space heater tstat failing wide open. But it makes perfect sense.

When running the heater through a thermostat is there somewhere specific you put the tstat probe? I would imagine since it's used for ambient temps it can go just about anywhere? Except obviously right in front of the heat source, of course.

Thanks, Deb!
