Professional Thermostats: How they Work and Which is Best 

honestly I will just binge listen to this channel too lol!

Clint make a video about black Roughneck monitors

Clint's Reptiles I’ve gotten the impression these are for people like yourself who keep lots of reptiles. Emily has promoted Jump Start over the years, but I found one on Amazon I actually like better, and its cheaper. Boho Farm Heat Mat Thermostat. It’s $17. I needed to switch as I had 2 Jump Starts die on me. At $35 a piece, that gets expensive! I’ve been running the one on my python for almost a year and it’s still doing the job.

@@jesusbeloved3953 I havent been able to find a cheaper alternative to a dimmable thermostat - which is very necessary for heating elements with filament (such as basking lights) as pulse/ off on thermostats can limit the life of the bulb

Damn she didn't even heart your comment

@@jesusbeloved3953 Oh nice. Cheaper is better. If you have time, could you reply to this and tell me how big it is? I don't want something too big. Thanks!

@@C4rL72 Thank you :) !

I'm from Canada I know your pain...

Boi there's some Asians here too

Literally everyone who's not American lol

yeah she should!!

This is me as well. No pets whatsoever. I wish. But still enjoy watching!

That is awesome information, thank you!

This is the only reason why I want this instead of a different kind of thermostat. I'm really paranoid about malfunctional fires and reptiles getting burned.

All power on a Herpstat is controlled by the triac components. The safety relay is inline to the main power running to those and acts as a kill switch. Under normal conditions the power flows through the relay to the triacs and when activated the relay breaks the contacts so it will cut power to all outputs on the thermostat. The main reason for that feature is if a triac fails it normally fails full on so you have a run away heating condition. These failures were common with other brands who used triacs that were barely rated for the spec. I have always used much higher rated triacs in my design so that type of failure is extremely rare but I came up with the safety relay as a precaution. However, it doesn't provide automatic protection because the user must choose to turn it on. That is because there is a downfall that comes with it. Lets say you have it enabled and you have a situation where one of your enclosures overheats (probe falls out of cage, ect). When the relay kicks on you are going to knock out power to all outputs on a multi output thermostat. If you have eggs in a incubator on the other output its going to go without heat. Since its going to affect the other outputs some people may prefer to go without the safety relay and deal with the overheat on one enclosure if their income is depending on on the other enclosure. We can't make decisions like that for people which is why we always try to give the options to the user. That safety relay can be triggered on any alarm, just high, just low, ect. The advantage of a single relay though is sometimes it catches when people make a mistake and pair the wrong probe with the wrong power cord causing their own overheat situation. If you only shut down the side that was sensing the overheat it would no be effective because the user has the probe in the wrong enclosure. By shutting power down on all outputs you can still make the save. Again, many possibilities so it pays to be flexible with your options. Oh, and wifi is on the way. Email alerts, scheduled status emails, remote monitoring and setting, graphed data, color lcd, browser based so works on iphone, android, pc. Its pretty slick. It will be for the techies. Launch date is not set yet but its not far off. User manual on the new Herpstat 2 SpyderWeb device is on our website under the support section. Great video BTW! Customer mentioned it and sent me here. :^) -Dion (Owner, Spyder Robotics)

i have a snake and his name is zeno and hes older than me my family got him a year before i was born :)

@@spyderrobotics_sales I just want you to know that this response earned you a customer. It's really cool that you took the time to explain this.

lol

Im also from south africa

Same here I also watched at that age to now Live in SA Love reptiles!!!!

Unoriginal Not being serious I did a comment like this

Dog Paw Then I guess I'm not the only unoriginal person here.

@@zyrandomness197 😊

Honestly, even though you don't have a snake or reptile right now, it's best to have as much information about the animal you want before you go adopting the animal

Sameeeeee

What were your findings?

Haha yeah they started demo today! We're so excited too!

Subscribe to my dog true they’re the best and aww he probably soo cute good luck with your journey with Timothy

Golden Witch thank you soooo much! Just wondering do you have any reptiles?

Imma subscribe to you now....

Subscribe to my dog I wish I really want a ball photon I just like to spread the love ❤️

Golden Witch and Fizzy Potato thank you for your time and I think (Golden Witch) I really like ball pythons but I wanted to get a small snake for my first one. I 💖🐍

@@not_mrphilips Those are non-proportional thermostats and are at a large disadvantage for fine temperature regulation. They are half as expensive because they have half the tech. Plus you have to listen to the clicking relays all night long which makes them unreasonable for use in a bedroom. They have no real features / alarms. Their quality is no better. You can search the web for reptile use and brewing beer use and find plenty of people that have had failures with the industrial thermostats. The Herpstat is designed specifically for reptile use and we have worked with people almost 20 years now fine tuning them. Our Herpstats are used in large zoo's all across america as well. You should try a Herpstat sometime and see for yourself. They are a little more expensive but when you consider what people spend on their animals its money well spent. :^) -Dion (Spyder Robotics)

@@not_mrphilips From my information CE does not require 3rd party testing so most manufacturers can use the CE. Either way our products are not 240V units or marketed for overseas which is where CE would come into play.

Keelia Silvis I just imagine a nine year old kid wickedly rubbing his hands and saying this

What one have you been using?

@@Kyenta "VIVOSUN Digital Seedling Heat Mat Thermostat Temperature Controller" (purchasable on ebay for $34 CAD) and "Mini LCD Digital Temperature Humidity Thermometer Outdoor Hygrometer Meter Probe" (also purchasable on ebay for $3.50 CAD). I've had them for over a year now, I plugged in multiple heatmats to 1 thermostat without any issues and it's still very accurate according to my temperature gun and still reliable despite all the power outages and power surges I've been getting in my neighborhood. The moment you put a label on something relating to pets, the price instantly skyrockets despite the product being identical to other products. The world loves to scam ppl.

Isn’t it labeled for that because it is meant specifically for that particular animal?

@@battlebear437 Not necessarily. Things like sphagnum moss, heating mats, bulb fixtures, and so many more things are much cheaper if bought elsewhere that is not "reptile" or "animal" related.

@@ryanchambers621 idek why I didn’t get this right away...I suppose it’s similar to places that you can rent for events, but the moment they know it’s for something like a wedding, they jack the price way up.

Still mail opening! She can't open packages and mail most of the time. Problems saying 'proportional' is only a tongue twister for her after midnight probably!

Radiant heat panels are useless if you are not using a "pulse" thermostat. Jumpstart does not make those.

@@GodZirra thanks for letting me know that. I will have to get one of those then it was the only thermostat i had from before i upgraded
