Ceramic Heat Emitter Question

[DanDrobates]

Vivarium electronics and spyder robotics both manufacture thermostats that you can use. The stuff you get at pet stores is garbage. Some of their models have settings for night drops as well and if you’re looking for reliable controls these are the way to go. I’d only use a ceramic heater with one of these as you have almost total control of the temperature. I use a spyder electronics thermostat for my blood python and it’s been nothing but a pleasure. They even have safety shut offs btw

I would love to have a Herpstat it's just a large cost to get one. However when I get my summer job I suppose I could save up enough to get one.

I ended up upgrading his halogen bulb to a 50 watt day bulb and have bought him a 25 watt night red halogen bulb for now. I'm hoping he will come out with the red bulb on but chances are not. If that's the case I will just use it for my other frog. Once spring and summer come this won't be an issue but hopefully he'll just come out with it on.

Thanks for all your help!
