I have several aquariums with filters and lights, a turtle set up with a heatlight and filter, and three snakes with heat lights. I'm also building my monitor a new enclosure in the next two weeks and will have a trio of heat lamps for his basking spot, one of which will be either a powersun type bulb or a mercury vapor. Any ideas would be great thanks. 
Also, rheostats are used to control under tank heating pads right? Can anyone recommend a brand or model that is inexpensive and possibly has two outlets and controls for two different heating pads? Any suggestions for good light timers for heating lights and aquarium lights? Multiple ports will be necessary although they can have the same 12 hour day/night schedule. |
Herpstats aren't cheap BUT they do what you are asking for.
Also, check Amazon. There's an aquarium thermostat that is similar to herpstats. I can't recall what it's called.
