Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat

Reptiles are ectotherms ("cold-blooded"), which means that they don't produce their own body heat. Instead, they rely on outside sources of heat like the Sun to get the heat energy that their bodies need to function properly. However, different reptiles have different temperature preferences — what keeps a bearded dragon healthy will cook a crested gecko, for example. So it's important to be careful about the temperatures that your pet reptile is exposed to in its enclosure. The Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat is a non-proportional (on/off) thermostat with both "Heat" and "Cool" modes to more effectively control the temperature in your reptile or amphibian's terrarium. "Heat" mode turns heating devices (heat mats, ceramic heat emitters, etc.) on as necessary, and "Cool" mode turns cooling devices (ex: fans) on as necessary. It is capable of controlling up to 600w of heating devices or 150w of cooling devices between 50°F and 122°F. The Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat also fea
