Thats cool... I use herpstat pro as well as repti500 but that doesnt mean im not going to suggest another thermo if they dont have the cash to buy a great one right now. People make it seem like if they use a repti500 and not a good one their snakes gonna die or something... Its no different than picking up a tv... you can buy a 100$ one that will do what you need it to just fine... or you can spend 3000$ on a 50'' plasma... In the end you get the same results so what does it matter what they use?
