Reptile Thermostats

Reptile thermostats help you keep your cold-blooded friend warm and cozy. Reptiles are unable to regulate their body temperature, they will rely on the temperature and humidity of their habitat to keep them comfortable.

Temperature and humidity gauges will help you monitor the climate of your pet's home so that it can be adjusted as needed. While some digital thermometers can be easily moved around or used for spot-checking temperatures, a permanent fixture placed inside the habitat to measure temperature is easy to check at any time.

Thermostats are an important accessory to help maintain a steady temperature output from heat mats or similar heating elements and can help prevent accidental overheating and burns to your pet. These can be set at a specific temperature and adjusted as needed for multiple elements to maintain appropriate husbandry.

Timers are another element important to aid in the proper care for your reptilian friend. Since many species require cooler temperatures and less lighting at night, a timer will help ensure your pet maintains a consistent daytime and nighttime schedule. Check out some of these accessories at your neighborhood Petco Pet Care Center or online at petco.com that can help you provide the optimal environment for your reptile.

FAQs About Reptile Thermostats

A thermostat helps regulate temperatures for heat maps and cables. These devices are important to prevent accidental overheating and maintain proper temperature of your reptile's habitat.

Ideally you should be aware of the ambient temperature of your habitat, as well as the temperature of the warm and the cool end to ensure your reptile has an appropriate gradient as needed by their species. Humidity gauges are best placed near the center of the habitat and midway between the ground and top.

As some reptiles are diurnal while others are nocturnal, a timer can help ensure your reptile gets the exact number of hours needed of daytime and nighttime temperature and lighting without requiring you to manually turn it on and off.
