Hi all,

I need to get leos and new corn snake. Where can I find a good thermometer online? I need one soon.

Thank you.

It's best to go to Wal*Mart. I got all 3 of mine there and they work great

 

[Bling_my_leo]

I know. I think I may be wrong about that name I am using for that item.... I already am getting a digital theromometer from fosterandsmith. com. I need something to control the temps on teh hot side. What is it called?

 

[xboxmember1978]

Oh, you mean a thermostat. Get one at reptilesupply.com

 

[Bling_my_leo]

Yes, that is what I ment. Is a thermostat better than a rheostat? I was going to get a rheostat from fosterandsmith, but other people have said rheostats temps are to high.....

Thanks.

A rheostat is just like a dimmer. You control the temp yourself since it doesn't however a thermostat will automatically adjust the temp so once you set it you won't have to mess with it again. Basically a rheosts=headaches...lol

Okay, thank you.

I have one more question.... which thermostat should I buy?
This one is the least money:

Is this the right one?

Thank you.

That is the one I have. I have 3 of them and I LOVE them. Two of them have been set for over 1 year and I haven't had to mess with them once. Temp stays at a constant 90f-92f

Remember. Don't use 1 thermostat to control two tanks

Thanks.

Both thermometers look like they will work just fine since they both have the probe

 

[Bling_my_leo]

Thank you again.

Definately go thermostat, I know as well as you do how the temps are around here You would be constantly turning a rheostat up and down almost daily. I know, I tried it

I just wanted you to see that I said thank you.

Yes, this is true.

I have ordered a 10 qt. bag of aspen, thermostat and a digital thermometer from reptilesupply.com. This is all for my new corn snake.

Thanks again!!
