They do everything I need them to do when it comes to regulating my enclosure temps. I’d have to burn through 4 of them to buy one Herpstat 1. I just don’t see the added value. I’m thinking about getting 2 of the Herpstat 6s once my 8’ enclosures arrive and I rearrange my stacks but that’s just because it’ll look nicer and be easier to control everything from just two units.

I've heard about the Jumpstart ones before and was debating on one of those. Since this is the 2nd in 2 years that our house has been struck by lightning, I think I'll probably have to replace it every year anyway but ideally if I can buy a cheaper one that lasts a long time and does it's job then I'm happy. I personally don't need all the bells and whistles. I only have one snake and he's still a baby. He can slowly get upgrades as he grows and as I save up the money. Lol
