Herpstat 2

They are expensive, but I love my Herpstat 4. I have an old original Herpstat that blew a fuse or something and I sent it back to Dion who fixed it within a day and sent it back! That is what I like about Spyder Robotics, really stand behind their products. I am saving my pennies for a Herpstat 2 now for my racks. Well worth the price and the gold standard as far as thermostats.

I am considering buying a Herpstat 4 too. The peace of mind knowing it won't fry my snakes would be nice. Not to mention less fluctuations in temperatures. Just have to convince my wallet to part with the $335 lol.

Yeah, I know. It is a chunk of change and a wallet can be one tough customer!

Would you say that the Herpstats are significantly better than say a Hydrofarm when it comes to keeping temps more constant? Still trying to convince myself that its worth upgrading lol.

I have both, and use both. They both do the Job, neither probe is super acurrate but the hydro makes loud ticks, and is a pain to use with lights since its on/off. The herpstat also tells you what % power its at which is nice.
