Why even think about taking a risk when it comes to your reptiles? These are the best Thermostats money can buy. If multi-million dollar labratories trust these you can too! Don't trust your animals to some cheap thermostat with a herp logo on it! They work with both hot and cold so not only can you use them with your heat tape but you can use them for brumation as well!! You can even set the temp and put the probe in your fridge to brumate your snakes in an old fridge! Another great use is to use one on your heat tape to shut it down if it gets too hot! Many snakes have been killed by heat tape that wouldn't turn off, this will keep that from happening! Here are the stats on these Thermostats:
