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
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
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 Thermostat comes with a 3.6 foot / 110cm 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.

temperature range (POTR) for your specific reptile, so you can create
the correct temperature gradients inside the terrarium to allow your
reptiles to thermoregulate.
