heating question

[dsmalex97]

Tstat's are a great piece of mind. I actually had success with the Zilla Thermostat too. Only 50 bucks at most pet shops! People talk a lot of smack about them, but I think they're actually not a bad product. I had mine for almost 5 years, but I broke it by me accidentally stepping on the probe when I was setting up a rack(idiot)...Rheostats in my opinion are pretty horrible at keeping a consistent temp. I've returned home from work and my snakes cages would be 100+ on the hot end using a rheostat. And those little heat pads are like 20 bucks!! What a rip! So after the pad and rheostat your at 40, why not spend the extra 15 ya know? Just my 2 cents on all that. Also, heat tape is great because if you buy a bunch it gives you an excuse to buy some more critters!

I don't put a price on the things I love and proper care. About the buying more critters, with that much heat tape might as well set up a bunch of racks to house all the critters.

thanks for all the great information guys! I have been busy with alot work lat;ey and havnt signed in for a while, i picked up one of the those hermit crab heat pads its the perfect size to fit on the die. the temperature is around 78-81 degrees now depending on the time of day. Once i pick up a few more frogs ill invest in some heat cable and a helix thermostat.
