well, following other peoples advice I think I shall probably just buy a Habistat stat instead, and keep this one as a spare. it fluctuates a little too much for me to be happy |

nice! cheaper than what I paid :/ had to get mine in a rush though, got mis-informed so didnt have one immediately. also had rubbish dial thermometers, so its been a bit traumatic for my poor snake :( all sorted now though but I think Ill get a Habistat as I said. Ill look at Ebay though, hopefully find one cheaper there |

thank you, I hope yours does too, when you get it! Hemlock will be fine now everything is good and I can let him settle in without having to disturb him adding a thermostat and new thermometer :) |
