  • Confused on which thermostat to get for your reptile? (bearded dragon, snake- boa constrictor / python, gecko) Not sure why there are 3 different types?
    In today's video, I explain the differences between a dimmer, On-Off, and pulse proportional thermostat. Your reptile pet demands the BEST and I will help you determine the one you need.
    As well, we will be doing a special giveaway of 1 thermostat (if you comment below with the secret word).
    We'll walk through the process of setting up a thermostat and heat mat.
    And, I take the complexity out of understanding the 3 different types of reptile thermostats by showing a quick demonstration..... using water!
    But, stick around for a very special giveaway in the video!

    As you know I keep geckos snakes and a Turtle for reptiles I use flex watt tape to regulate the temps on them.. I use most of the thermostats you talked about here today and the reason Pymeter gets only a 4.4 star reading is because its a little more complicated to set up I use a Pymeter and I really like it but it took some figuring out but I got it lol ..But all of these thermostats you talked about to day will HEAT your reptiles nicely... What a great video Wally. Keep up the amazing work ..

    I have been running the VIVOSUN thermostat for my Heat Mats. Most of my Animals I also provide a heat basking bulb so my animals get a temperature boost during the day and then a drop to just the heat mat temperature at night. I have been using these for about five years. I do use the Ink Bird Hydrometer for control of the humidity for several of my animals so I definitely think that Ink Bird makes a great product as well.

    I have the #1 choice on a quarantine rack, and it has worked flawlessly. Only thing I wish was that if it ever failed, it failed in the off position. Therefore killing the "HEAT" so it won't cook animals. I have both ink bird, ve 200 and Herpstat 2. They all work well. That #1 thermostat would go good with a pictus gecko setup.

      I really appreciate great feedback like this. How many (potentially) animals could it be heating at one time. I've recently purchased a heat monitor that will alert me by phone that I will be trying out very soon. :) Yes it would go good with a picta setup :)

    Question: are heat mats safe with burrowing species?
    I've been interested in getting a small group of pachydactylus rangei, and from what I have researched online, these geckos will burrow deep into sand to escape high temperatures. Would a bottom heating mat potentially harm them, considering their natural response to heat is to dig, in this case bringing them closer to the HEAT source?

    • @SupremeGecko
      @SupremeGecko  3 года назад +2

      great question. I would give them plenty of material to dig (I'm guessing you are talking about a gecko like P. rangei) but all on the cool side. On the warm side, use other materials that they cannot dig through like slate or rocks.

    I keep a Columbian Boa (BCI) and a Royal (Ball) Python. I have a heat mat for the one I have in a pvc Enclosure and a heat panel for the Boa that I keep in a wooden Enclosure. To tell u the truth I like the panel way better because I can control the temperature way easier and more precisely to the Temps I want. The reason I got a heat mat is because I was told it's way easier as far as humidity staying up with a mat, because a panel dries it up. But I have found out now that the humidity stay about the same percentage in both Enclosures. The reason I bought one of these thermostats is because I have a reptile basic V-300 which I love and a BN link which I hate because I constantly have to check it with a temp gun and adjust it like everyday. And because I don't just have $150 bucks to purchase another V-300, so I came across the Pymeter Smart Controller and it seemed to have awesome reviews and for a great price
