depending on what you want to use it on

for cage heat control id use this
Electronic BAH-1000 Thermostat from bigappleherp.com

and for making an incubator id use the Helix thermostat, they sell it on lllreptile.com

>>I'm looking for recomendations for a thermostat.

If you want a proportional thermostat I would defenetly recomend Helix but Herpstat also makes a nice unit.

Other than that both Johnston and Ranco make great units that are easy to use as well as find via the web. I purchase mine from MGReptiles.

I also use rheostats or household dimmers for a lot of my heat control. I check my cages nearly everyday so a little work on my part is not a big deal. You can get a 600watt dimmer at your hardware store for a little over $5.

Good Luck
