With a reliable single output capable of sustaining reptile heating equipment up to 600 watts (minimum 40w), the HabiStat Dimming Thermostat is perfect for heat bulbs, basking bulbs and even just light bulbs, ensuring your reptile gets both the heat and light it requires to thermos-regulate, metabolise and digest their food efficiently, contributing to their overall health and wellbeing.

Although most reptile heating can technically be run without a thermostat, doing so requires your constant attention - turning the heating on or off depending on the temperature you record in your reptile's terrarium or vivarium. This causes obvious complications for most people, in that few have the time to spend 100% of their waking hours tending to their reptile's habitat temperature, and most turn to a reptile thermostat like this.

It features a remote sensor which can be placed in your reptile's environment which sends back accurate temperature data to the microprocessor inside the thermostat itself. The thermostat quickly calculates whether your heating intensity needs to be higher or lower to maintain your reptile's optimum temp, and takes action accordingly, dimming or brightening your heat bulb.

Comes with an amazing 5 years guarantee.

Red LED lights up: heating device is powered. Blue LED lights up: set temperature has been reached and heating device is no longer powered.

The recessed dial of the thermostat will prevent accidental temperature change if the device is being handled. The Thermostat comes with a power-cord with grounded plug & receptacle for increased safety and to allow the use of a power outlet strip. The waterproof remote sensor can be safely used in highly moist terrariums and aquatic environments.

Simply connect your Heat Mat, Heat Cable, Ceramic Heater or Incandescent Heat Bulb to the Exo Terra Thermostat, set the preferred temperature and place the heat sensor in the desired spot.

Reptiles are ectotherm, and use heat from an external source to thermoregulate their optimal body temperature. Most reptiles use direct radiant heat from the sun in combination with conductive heat from sun-heated surfaces such as branches, rocks or other heat accumulating structures.

Providing such an appropriate, species related, temperature gradient in the terrarium is an important factor in successful reptile keeping. With the Exo Terra Electronic ON/OFF Thermostat you can create a well controlled heating system that allows you to maintain the required temperature conditions similar to those found in a desert or tropical environment. The Thermostat will also help to prevent overheating and undercooling during hot summer days or cold winter nights. The electronic Triac switch keeps the temperature at the desired setpoint with a much higher accuracy compared to conventional thermostats and virtually eliminates temperature swings in the terrarium. Simply connect your Heat Mat, Heat Cable or Ceramic Heater to the Exo Terra ON/OFF Thermostat, set the preferred temperature and place the heat sensor in the desired spot. The Red LED heat indicator will light up when the heating device is ON and will shut off once the desired temperature has been reached. The recessed dial of the thermostat will prevent accidental temperature change if the device is being handled. The waterproof remote sensor can be safely used in highly moist terrariums and aquatic environments.

The Exo Terra Thermostat should be set according to the needs of the animals. Thoroughly research the preferred optimum temperature range (POTR) for your specific reptile, so you can create the correct temperature gradients inside the terrarium to allow your reptiles to thermoregulate.
