[Thermostats] Any suggetions?

[hertzogcraig]

I have a thermostat from Big Apple Herp, the BAH-1000SC, don't ever buy this unit, it sucks. I've had it hooked up for 2 weeks and the past 2 days it has been shutting off on me, I have to mess around with it to get it to come back on. I need a new one asap and local pet stores around me don't have any thermostats. I found a guy on craigslist who has Biostat DP thermostats, anyone have any experience with these? Also if I can ask, what thermostat is everyone using? I hear alot that Ranco is a good one. Thanks for the help.

I also only use rancos. They're the best for the money.

Another one here with Rancos. I have no experience with the other brands; I just followed the advice of those more experienced when I got mine and I've loved them thus far.

Rancos are the best IMO. One time I had a Cuban boa die because of a UTH failure which was hooked up to a rheo. I won't make that mistake again.

Re: Any suggetions?

oops. I'm the oddball. I have a Johnson control. It was priced right for me and had a good reputation with the forum members back when I needed one a few yrs ago. good luck! The members here won't steer you wrong! everyone is always fabulously helpful!

Hi,

I too am using the Ranco's from BoaPhile's website. I have two of the double thermos from there and I like them a lot. Works great and super simple to setup.

I've never used anything else so I cannot comment but I definitly do like the ones I have now.

I have Rancos and Helix Controls. I love proportional thermostat for radient heat panels, as far as under tank heat I use Ranco. The Helix are sweet though.
