    I like herpstats, have five of them and no problems. Easy to setup.

        I use a herpstat pro and a helix dbs1000...ive had them both for about 7-8 years give or take..i would highly recommend herpstat...the helix is also good but blew a fuse on me about a year ago...easily changed but still had about a day with no heat to the tubs

          I use the Ranco brand t-stats you've seen offered on Jeff's website - both the single and double versions.

          They are simple and reliable.

            I've used Rancos in the past and still hold on to them as backups, but now I am using all Herpstats.

              I use a bunch of different types herpstats, Vivarium electronics, Rancos, and Hydrofarms. They all do their job really well but I prefer the hydrofarms and rancos because of their simplicity. Herpstats are great if you like different alerts and like having your temps exact to the decimal point.

                I like herpstats primarily because I use RHPs. I really like that it shows you the percentage of the heating element's output. However for the price a UL rating would be nice.

                I think under most circumstances any good on/off thermostat with a UL rating would work well with a UTH. The shorter the temp swing the better... For example a Johnson clicks on/off in one degree increments while a hydrofarm uses a two degree increment setting.

                  I invested in a herpstat4 a few years ago and have zero regrets. I keep my ranco around as back up or to use if i have snake in quarantine.

                      You want a Herpstat 2 at least. If buying online. Buy directly from Spyder Robotics.

                        I bought my herpstats straight off their website, they are very quick to ship too.
