Default Thermostat shopping for snakes

Hiya guys

I thought this thread might be better in the Newbie section, as it's a fairly newby question.

Where's the best place to get a dimming thermostat? I've checked eBay and they're about £60 - is this really the best price? We've got a ceramic and a heatmat ontop of a on/off Habistat thermostat at the minute, but I've heard this isn't ideal.

Anywhere cheaper I could get one from? Our belts are getting tighter and tighter...

hi mate

60 quid seems quite a lot for just a dimmerstat, u might have been looking at a day and night dimmer which are superb stats but a bit of an overkill if your just after a dimmer, u should be able to pick them up for about £40 ish

there are lots of online stores that sell them, lots of links on this forum

hope this helps
