Exo Terra Thermostat, 300w

Reptiles, being ectothermic or "cold-blooded," cannot generate their own body heat and depend on external sources like the Sun to maintain their body temperature. Different reptile species have unique temperature requirements — a temperature ideal for a bearded dragon might be harmful to a leopard gecko, for instance. Therefore, monitoring and controlling the temperature within their habitat is crucial for their health.

The Exo Terra Thermostat, rated at 300w, is a non-proportional (on/off) device designed to regulate the temperature of non-light emitting heat sources such as ceramic heat emitters, heat mats, radiant heat panels, and heat cables or tapes.

Featuring a recessed dial to avoid unintended temperature adjustments during handling, this thermostat also includes a waterproof remote sensor, making it ideal for use in humid terrariums or aquatic setups. Its electronic Triac switch ensures precise temperature control, maintaining the set temperature with greater accuracy than traditional thermostats and minimizing temperature fluctuations in the enclosure.

How to Use:

Plug your heating device into the Exo Terra ON/OFF Thermostat, adjust to the desired temperature, and position the sensor in the appropriate location within the terrarium. A Red LED indicator will illuminate when the heating device is active and will turn off once the target temperature is achieved.

Ensure the thermostat is configured based on your reptile's specific needs. Research the preferred optimum temperature range (POTR) for your pet to establish the correct thermal gradient in their environment, allowing proper thermoregulation.

This 300w Exo Terra Thermostat is compatible with heating devices up to 300w.
