Reptile thermostats

are a key component in providing the correct heating for reptiles and amphibians in captivity.
Reptiles and amphibians rely on environmental temperature to maintain the correct body temperature.
Control of Reptile heating is therefore an essential factor in keeping healthy, active pet reptiles.

There are many different types of heating that can be used in vivariums and reptile cages, heat mats, heat bulbs and ceramic bulbs are all commonly used. The exact choice of heating device will depend on the species of reptile being kept. With such a wide variety of snakes, Geckos and other lizards being kept as pets, no one type of heating equipment will suit all situations.
With the possible exception of Heat mats, all these types of heating should be controlled with a good quality thermostat. This ensures complete control of the temperature in the vivarium for your reptile or amphibian.
It is very important that heating is only installed at one end of the vivarium. This allows a cool area to develop away from the hot spot

The Habistat thermostats contain a range of reptile thermostats and dimmer stats to satisfy the most demanding of reptile heating requirements.
From a straightforward on / off temperature thermostat, through to the sophisticated Dimmer 'stats.
Dimmer 'stats are the most sophisticated type of thermostats used for reptile heating. They allow the heat to gradually fade down after the pre-set temperature has been reached. They avoid the switching on and off of a heat bulb, which can stressful for reptiles and they also extend the lifespan of the heat bulb.

Thermostats cut the power to the heating system completely and switch it back on after the temperature in the vivarium has dropped by a couple of degrees. Some of the Habistat thermostats even have a facility to drop the night time temperature for your reptiles.
Please read the detailed product descriptions to ensure that you select the correct thermostat for your reptiles.
