Note;  A basic Temperature Thermostat simply switches a heater to full power until the your set temperature is achieved. It then switches the heater off completely until the temperature drops below the one you have set it to. The basic Temperature Thermostat will again deliver full power and the cycle starts over again so your ceramic heater emmiter is frequently being switched on and off. This will significantly reduce the life of your ceramic heater emmiter.

The gap between the heater being switched on and then off is called hysteresis. It is between these points that the accuracy of the controller is assessed. The Pulse Proportional Thermostat pulses electricity to the heater, so provided you fit a Pulse Proportional Thermostat your reptile will have a consistent temperature and you will extend the life of your ceramic heater emmiter. Be sure you are providing the correct thermal gradient for the species you keep.

All of our Habistat Thermostats are simple to fit and use. Ideal for your Vivarium/Terrarium.  We strongly recommend the use of thermostats.
