People won't have muhc to say on this because:

People make their own. it'll cost you 70-250 and migh not even perform as well as a home made one, the last two I saw were certainly crap.

It'll cost you very little to make one,nothing if you already have a heatmat and pulse stat , you can use a mat stat but they allow for a muchgreater temperature fluctuation.

sure someone on here uses a purchased one, but not many as they are expensive for something you can make yourself for a few quid.

the lucky reptile one I saw looked ok, but i'm sure it was nearly £100 and it was very small.

Polyboxes can be had for free, just ask any pet, reptile or aquatics shop and they should be happy to oblige.
