Thermosats...which one is best?

Wanting to purchase a dimming thermostat to run a heat light for my new enclosure. Which brand are the better ones to get? I wouldn't have a clue which one.
The Herp shop are selling some. Not sure if they are OK. Can anyone help / advise?

B1ME....Mircoclimate range. You can't go wrong. They are a little EXXY but worth the $$$

Echoing the others...Microclimate make good thermostats. IMO, dimming stats are the way to go - more versatile.

It's up to you whether you want a stat with the night-time drop function, which is useful if you have an adult snake that you want to breed, or if you want to replicate natural conditions. Note that you shouldn't cool down a juvenile. I have a B1ME but don't use that function at the moment.

Microclimate B1 or B1ME.

I've got the B1ME, although I don't use the 'Magic-Eye' function.

Microclimate B1ME Thermostat for light emitting heat sources (globes)
Microclimate B2ME Thermostat for non-light emitting heat sources (heat mats, ceramics etc)

HabiStat range from the Herp Shop might be worth a look as well.

I only have experience with the microclimate range however I also hear good things about the Habistats on Herpshop. I personally think the best thermostat on the market for overall versatility, price and performance is the Microclimate B1ME.

Auzlizardking's prices are almost unbeatable. Give him a try.

I'm not a big fan of my imit (well, its like an imit, but a honeywell), so for $30 or $40 more, since its generally a once off, I think I might stick to a plug in ministat 300.

I use Microclimate exclusively. And I agree with MrBredli, those prices of Auzlizardking are the best I have seen.
