| Digital thermometers are the way to go, as for stats you can get either a matstat (on/off) or a pulse stat. The pulse stat is better as it maintains the temps slightly better but is that bit more expensive. |

is it accurate? |

I will be going for the Habistat Dimming Thermostat when i set my vivs up as these are the ones for heat lamps for 40watts or over.
I like the lucky reptile one as well as posted above. |
