>>I've decided to upgrade on my thermostats. I'm currently using the cheaper $30 thermostats, but I've heard so many good things about accuracy and relability of the more expensive models.
>>The 3 units I'm considering include the following:
>>Helix, Ranco, and the Big Apple Proportional Thermostat
>>Which do you use? Why do you prefer it over the others? If anyone has experience with several of these units, please let me know which one is a better unit?
I've been using the Helix Basic (DBS-1000) controls for quite a while and been happy with them. If you have multiple cages, you might want to look at the thermostats made by GSC reptiles. They're $260, but that unit will control four cages, each with a separate probe, target temperature, nite drop, etc. Of course, they're proportional thermostats. Looks like they have a new single-cage setup, too. I haven't used their stuff, but for $65/cage that four-cage thermostat looks pretty attractive!
