Reptiles are ectotherms and rely on external heat to regulate their body temperature, so a reliable heat source paired with a good thermostat is the foundation of a healthy habitat. This electronic ON\/OFF thermostat switches your heater on and off to hold the exact temperature you set, eliminating the swings you get from an unregulated heat source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse it to control a heat mat, heat cable, or ceramic heater in your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/collections\/terrariums\"\u003eterrarium\u003c\/a\u003e, and pair it with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/products\/squeakys-digital-thermometer-aquarium-lcd-probe\"\u003ethermometer\u003c\/a\u003e to keep an eye on your temps.
