Having a temp issue..

[starmom]

I prefer a Helix or a Herpstat myself. The least expensive model of Herpstat is not much more than a Ranco and you get so much more with a Herpstat.

Thanks awsome answers. I will order one as soon as I can.

By far, the Herpstat is the King of thermostats. I SO want to get one...but since I already have 'perfectly good, working stats' I can't pick one up until I have that money totally clear and extra (which will take a LONG time).

Reptile Basics is the best place to go for the Johnson or Ranco - the cheapest of the high end stats. Rich is Da Man!

He really is a great guy!!
His side kick Frank is pretty cool too

In addition to your thermostst also keep in mind that many times your cool side temps will fluctuate with the ambient temps of the room your enclosures in. For instance when my house cools off at night my cool side drops from like 81 to about 78-79.

It shouldn't fluctuate if it's on a thermostat- that's the reason you get one!
Are you thinking of the ambient temps?

[ani15174eva]

My ambient temp stays between 76-82 never lower never higher.

I got a temp gun today and new thermometers. I think that the zoo-med thermometers are peices of crap! I now have 2 Acurite thermometers. which read right and I will be ordering my thermostat later in the week, when I get home for good. right now I am in between houses. Nate (BP) stays in one place though no stress on him. As for right now the temps are all stable.

Hi- 91.8 Lo- 80.4 Hum. 63%

Thanks for all your help...

PS- I think he is happy! He ate a mouse F/T on saturday! My first time feeding a snake ever and he took it! I am so happy! lol

Thanks to all of you guys.
