Exo Terra Thermostat, 600w

Reptiles, being ectothermic or "cold-blooded," cannot generate their own body heat and must depend on external sources like the Sun to maintain their bodily functions. Different reptile species require specific temperature ranges for optimal health — a temperature ideal for a bearded dragon could be harmful to a leopard gecko, for instance. Thus, monitoring and controlling the environment in your reptile’s enclosure is crucial.

The Exo Terra Thermostat is an on/off, non-proportional thermostat designed to regulate the temperature of non-light emitting heat sources such as ceramic heaters, heat pads, radiant heat panels, and heat cables.

Featuring a recessed dial to avoid unintended temperature adjustments during handling, this thermostat also includes a waterproof remote sensor suitable for use in damp terrariums or aquatic setups. Its electronic Triac switch ensures precise temperature control, maintaining the set temperature with greater accuracy than traditional thermostats and minimizing fluctuations within 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. A Red LED will illuminate when the heater is active and turn off once the target temperature is achieved.

Always tailor the thermostat settings to your reptile’s specific needs by researching their preferred optimum temperature range (POTR). This allows you to establish the right thermal gradient in the terrarium for proper thermoregulation.

The 600w Exo Terra Thermostat is compatible with heating devices up to 600w.
