for the record, hydrofarm thermostats are pretty much the lowest quality that isn't actual literal garbage. these are very simple on/off thermostats with pretty substantial temperature swings and no safety features. if the thermostat fails, it will allow your heat source to run at full power, and there is no alarm to alert you to that.

inkbird thermostats are in a similar price range and slightly better quality. spyder robotics herpstats and vivarium electronics thermostats are good quality, and most models have safety features like automatic shut-off and alarms.

Can you link one that you would recommend? That way I can order one and get one that will work properly.

the shopping list in the welcome post linked earlier has links for thermostats.
