Good thermostat to use?

[gregcalverley0327]

I know it says it's for heat mats but do yo think it would work for my heat light?

I was looking for one too and there seemed to be quite a few people on here that use that one. I ended up ordering the BAH-1000DC. It costs more, but I like that you can plug up to 3 things into it.

What temp gun do you use?

I haven't gotten a temp gun yet. I read on here that a lot of people like the Pro Exotics PE2 Infrared Thermometer Temp Gun though, so I'll probably get that one soon. It's $35 on amazon.

im pretty interested in knowing what other ppl are using as well

I use three of those thermostats for my tort table. Yes, they only have a single plug in, but use however many adapters you want and you can plug in any number of heaters into it at once (certainly be wary of the total wattage you are controlling). I usually only plug in a couple of heaters that are in close proximity to the temperature sending unit for the thermostat. Works just fine!

What humidity gauge do you use

I like the PE1 or PE2 temp guns as well.

I have used both thermostats, the one you posted and the Big Apple Pet supply one as well. Tortoisefanatic is right, make sure you keep track of the wattage of the fixtures (lights, heat) that you are using, and that the thermometer can handle the total.

Can't help on the humidity gauge, although I do know it is hard to find an accurate one.
