My Apollo one failed last night. (It was recommended through Facebook groups). I know most people recommend herpstat, but $440 this close to Christmas is not an option. What’s a good affordable one to work with until after Christmas? I have 3 snakes. My Leo’s thermostats are still working right now, so I’m focusing on the snakes. Help!?!

Well I hope you have a new one by now but inkbird is a decent one.
Amazon.com: Heating Thermostat Inkbird ITC-306T Heater Temperature Controller Pre-Wired Dual Stage Timer Time Switch ONLY HEAT Outlet AC 100~240V,1200W NO Cooling: Industrial & Scientific

Edit: I feel like this came out snarkier than I meant it lol. Just meant I’m late to the party and you probably already have one but this is the cheap one I use. I also have a herpstat but they are expensive to buy for sure!

Oh no you’re fine! I actually don’t have a new one yet (I borrowed a few from a friend until I got good recommendations) I was trying to wait until tax time so I could get a rack system with the heat and thermostat and all...so I didn’t want to spend $$$ on a herp stat just yet!

Did you check out reptilebasics? It’s where I get my racks from now. I used to buy from ap but they were pretty expensive unless you bought the economy. But the economy was only good if you had high room ambient or colubrids.

Yep I plan on going through reptile basics! I’ve talked with them and gotten some prices together :)
