Thermostat?

[stinax182]

I need a thermostat for my reptiles. Are the helix ones on lllreptile really the only ones? 135$?!? That's ridiculous. Are there cheaper options? I don't like the rheostat and I would prefer a digital read out.

Zilla sells a thermostat I use you can purchase it on Amazon for around $30

I've bought all my thermostats from Hydrofarm. They make a digital thermostat for seedling mats (you can use them with any heat source) and it costs less than $40. I've used then with CHEs and oil radiators. They work great.

I bought my Zilla from LLL for $30 and they work great but next time I was going to try the hydrofarm ones.

Thanks guys. I'm buying a hydrofarm one because of the good reviews on Amazon.

Are the Hydrofarm digital readout thermostats more accurate than the analogue types like Zilla? I have always relied on a thermometer for the actual temp in my tortoise enclosure and used the thermostat setting as a reference only.
