Thermostats are well known to be some of the most important pieces of equipment for the vivarium. They are used purely as a prevention device to stop accidental overheating and to have a greater control of the enclosure temperature.
Temp stats work in an identical manner to the HabiStat Mat Stat operating as an on/off device, which simply means they switch off when they reach the desired temperature, and switch themselves back on again when the temperature starts to drop.
These devices have a dial knob centre which can easily be twisted with your fingers to the desired operating temperature.
Probe position is important and varies depending on the type of equipment you are using with the thermostat, the product manufacturer encloses additional instructions advising on the best position in each situation.
These devices are only suitable for use with heat mats and ceramic heaters. If you're looking for something to use with basking bulbs, please see dimming thermostats.
We would advise not to rely 100% on the calibration setting of any thermostat, this can vary depending on the probe position and it's good husbandry practice to manually check the temperature with a digital thermometer.
