    thermostat day/night cycling
    am using zoomed reptitemp 500r thermostat. this thermostat can accept 500watt. i can control 1 temperataure . it has 2 sockets i want to make my thermostat to has day/night. i can do it this very easy by appling one timer. i have set the temperature all day at the moment to 29c. in night bp wants 22-26. how can do it to drop down the temp at night to 24? i want the temps to be automatic cycling.
    if room temp is 15c and the thermostat has timer to switch off of course the night temp will be down to 20c not 24c that i want.
    this is the avantar that company use
    Repti-Temp 500R Remote Sensor Thermostat

    Features include a 6 ft. remote sensor probe and a dual port plug receptacle to control multiple heating devices. Safety cover prevents accidental “bumping” of the temperature dial! Includes mounting hardware and extra adhesive pads. Can be used in conjunction with a timer for day/night cycle simulation. Range is from 70° to 110°F (21° TO 43°C.)

    i can't buy at the moment digital thermostat like helix etc.
    any idea... will make my bp feeling better at night:) not mine:|

    There is no need to drop your temps at night.

    Keeping your temps constant 24 hours a day will lead to better feeding response.

    Good luck.

    Adam this is very good you saw! what is the best temp ? 29 is fine?
    in the rack system i can't have warm and cool side this can be problem? or is ok?
    i have put the hiding cave upside the head pad and i put the water in the other side. and i have all time 60%+ huminidty.
    in the feature if i want to breed my female i must have day/night cycling?

    You're going to want your temps 27.8c-28.9c on the "cool" side and 33.3c-34.5c on the hot.

    You cetainly can have a hot and cool side in a rack system. I know I do for sure. Depends on the rack system and your room temps, but worse case scenario is that you use 2 heat sources with 2 thermostats.

    For breeding, cycling temperatures as well as lights will be important. But when your not breeding, keep those temps constant 24 hours a day!

    Parasites can be a reason for an animal not feeding as well as incorrect husbandry.

    I certainly don't recommended treating an animal with any medications without an illness being diagnosed first.
