My 20 gallon glass tank needs a thermostat. In the winter, the house temp stays about the same but it can get hot in the summer. This remote thermostat can control two heating devices, most often it is for a heat lamp and a UTH. I bought a small UTH meant just for reptiles at a pet store and I have never used a thermostat with it. I've never had a problem but some of the threads on here have scared me so I unplugged the UTH.

The heat lamp is set to one end of the tank and hangs over the tank with a chain, about 14 inches above his tank. I use a heat lamp meant for raising chicken chicks as they are less than half the cost and more important, bulbs are available in my town.

The single probe means that both the heat lamp and UTH will be the same temp. I'm thinking I will place the probe on the hot side, since Monty's hide is on the cooler side. The UTH is just the size of his hide so if he needs a cooler temp for a bit, he can rest on top of his hide or next to it.

Does this sound good?
