Excellent for use with Zoo Meds Ceramic Heat Emitter and the Reptile Therm Under Tank Heater. Safety cover prevents accidental bumping of the temperature control dial! When used in conjunction with a timer, natural conditions are replicated by providing the proper photoperiod for your reptile, along with a beneficial nighttime temperature drop (consult a good book on your species to determine its specific temperature requirements).

take care of your herp! 
by .. Trip Mitchell (Asheville, NC USA)
I've been using one of these thermostats for over 10 years, and i've never had any reptile product that I've enjoyed so much. Extremely easy to set up and use, this unit allows you to cycle a heat lamp or ceramic heater (or a matt or heat tape for that matter) on and off at the optimal temperature. You can easily set it to turn off at a lower temperature for a night drop, necessary for many species. The unit is also very easy to mount, and the probe is at the end of a long, thin black cord which is completely unobtrusive in any terrarium or cage setting.
Keeps temperature within 1 degree of setting by .. LLL (California)
I use a digital thermometer to monitor the temperature inside my double-walled, insulated turtle house and the 500R thermostat keeps the temperature setting to within 1 degree of my setting. Getting it right initially took a bit of effort because I had to watch the temperature for an hour or so to make sure it was right. I like the protective cover that is part of the design.

Good value option for heat control by .. Katie Carpenter (Florida, USA)
This product certainly does not have the ability to keep temperatures within a very specific range the way that thermostats that control the amount of electricity to the device do (my temperatures range from 89 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit), but if you're looking for a relatively cheap and reliable way to control your reptile's tank temperatures, this thermostat is a good value. Also,for being not much more money than most rheostats (dimmers), it's definitely worth getting especially if your ambient room temperature varies a lot.
