Exo Terra Termostat 300W Gdynia

Precise control of the terrarium temperature Ideal for use with heating mats and heating cables From 20°C up to 35°C (68°F - 95°F) Waterproof remote sensor Controls heating units of up to 300 W Reptiles are ectotherms 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 a successful reptile husbandry. With the Exo Terra 300 W electronic ON/OFF thermostat, you can create a well-controlled heating system that allows you to maintain the necessary temperature conditions similar to those found in a desert or tropical environment. The thermostat also helps prevent overheating and hypothermia on hot summer days or cold winter nights. The electronic Triac switch keeps the temperature at the desired set point with a much higher accuracy compared to conventional thermostats and virtually eliminates temperature fluctuations in the terrarium. Simply connect your heating mat, heating cable or ceramic heating element to the Exo Terra ON/OFF thermostat, set the preferred temperature and place the heat sensor in the desired location. The red LED heat indicator lights up when the heating unit is on and turns off when the desired temperature is reached. The thermostat's recessed dial prevents accidental temperature change if the unit is handled. The waterproof remote sensor can be used safely in very humid terrariums and aquatic environments. The Exo Terra thermostat must be set according to the animals' needs. Carefully research the Preferred Optimal Temperature Range (POTR) for your specific reptile so that you can create the correct temperature gradients inside the terrarium for your reptiles to thermoregulate.
