Exo Terra Day/Night Dimmer/Bulb Thermostat 600W

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 temperature gradient in the terrarium, related to the species, is an important factor in successful reptile keeping. Exo Terra Thermostats should be adjusted according to the needs of the animals. Thoroughly research the appropriate optimal temperature (POTR) and humidity range specific to your reptile, so you can achieve the temperature and humidity 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 and humidity conditions similar to desert and tropical environments. Thermostats also help prevent overheating and cooling during the hottest days of summer or the coldest nights of winter.
