I got my t-stat from MGReptiles -- http://www.mgreptiles.com/Originally Posted by The One And Only
I chose the Johnson t-stat, which is a fair-bit cheaper than a Herpestat...but WAY better than anything you'd find in a petstore. They may seem a bit pricey at first glance, but the peace of mind they offer is worth every penny and more.
If you can't wait for it to be shipped...or if its too expensive to buy today....you can always opt for an inexpensive lamp-dimmer from Home Depot or Lowes....and use that for a short spell while you save up for a good t-stat and wait for it to be shipped. I would do that before I wasted a dime on a petstore piece of junk.
