I have been having alot of trouble lately with my probe thermostats. They don't turn the heat lamps on most of the time and when they do, they don't turn off when it gets to the desired temps.
I recently purchesed two dial IMIT TA3 thermostats and was wondering if anyone uses them?

Well use them for sledgehammer prey and come on over to the dark side.

Chuck em in the bin, either use imits, habistats or microclimates.

I use only Habistat or Microclimate because they are good quality.

I run about 20 I.M.I.T's. and have never had one fail yet. Mind you I also have never had a problem with those probe stats either and I use quite a few of them, too.

I had an imit fail, I lost my second favourite snake because of it, very upsetting. Even so, I think they're worth using.
