The Exo Terra 600W Dimming Thermostat with day and night programmer offers exact control of the temperature and humidity of a terrarium. This is an important factor for the maintenance of reptiles, since it is necessary to provide them with an adequate temperature gradient. And with the Exo Terra 600W Programmable Dimming Thermostat you can organize 24h.
EXACT CONTROL OF THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY OF THE TERRARIUM
Reptiles are ectoderms, and use heat from an external source to thermoregulate their body temperature. Many reptiles use direct heat from the sun's rays combined with conductive heat from sun-heated surfaces , such as branches, rocks , or other heat-accumulating structures. Providing an appropriate species-related temperature gradient in the terrarium is an important factor in the successful keeping of reptiles.
Exo Terra Thermostats must be adjusted according to the needs of the animals. Thoroughly research the proper optimum temperature (POTR) and humidity range specific to your reptile so you can achieve temperature gradients within the terrarium to allow your reptiles to thermoregulate and maintain their hydration levels.
With Exo Terra Thermostats you can create a well controlled 24h heating/humidifying system that allows you to maintain the required temperature conditions similar to those of desert and tropical environments. Thermostats also help prevent overheating and cooling during the hottest days of summer or the coldest nights of winter.
