Is there a product that anyone sells here in Canada that is either the same or slightly different then this one offered by Big Apple Herps?

TSC Store's have one very similar.. they are $89.97 and have been discontinued so i'm not sure how many of the TSC stores still have any.. I know we have 2 left at the Woodstock TSC.. and they also have a ground fault outlet on them..

I might go to the TSC out in Bellville since it is a little bit closer, was hopeing to call them first see if they have any, if not I'll be going out to woodstock to get them.

ok well hold off and i'll get you a product name and a sku # so you can call Bellville and give them that product # and they can tell you if they have any.. and if they dont then they can transfer one from another store because i know we have 2 in stock at woodstock.. I was looking at them last night..

Hmmmmmmmm, I've looked at those before but never at the whole picture. I've got 4 cages to controll, 3 are necessary to controll, the 4th no so much because he won't be used for breeding. So mabye it makes sense to buy the big unit and have the one unit controll all 4 cages.......

hmmmmmmm something to think about because the price of $425 for the one unit is about what I would end up paying after taxes and gas spent driving to get it if I bought 4 seperate thermostats for each cage.

If your from toronto and am heading out towards belleville ...theres a TSC store in bowmanville ... just take the 401 to liberty street ...follow liberty north to the first set of lights ...make a left ... drive for 10 seconds and its on ur left that should easily save u about 30 - 40 extra min each way

Not I.

Yea Helix is a really nice thermostat but a couple of things...

1) It's a US company so I still get bent over at the border for taxes.

2) I know there has to be a way to hook up multiple probes to the thermostat to controll multiple cages but I don't see that option avilable on the website.

yeah i'm not sure.. I know he said he was from woodstock and i guess he's in quite often.. I'd just like to know who he was.. Good to keep in touch with fellow herpers in the same small city

Yea, I need to find some out in the Keswick area. Would be nice to know who I can talk to about the hobby and who I can't because of the strict bylaws in Keswick.
