    nighttime thermostat ?
    So i ordered my RHP from Rich at RBI. He was a great help, th eonly company i know that answers emails at 7 AM. My ? is, If i have my RHP as my only heat source in my enclosure, how do i control night time temps. I was going to use the Ranco ETC-111000. But as far as i know that will only control one preset at a time, so every night at 8PM, i have to reprogram it to lower the temp, then when i get up for work at 6am, reprogram it again and set it back to 90 degrees? Is there a system that can do this. I like having my cages setup so i never have manually change things. I.E. timers on lights and things like that. Thanks

    BPs don't actually need a drop in the temps at night. You can just leave your temps like they are and not worry about it...

    The above is true. If you do want to breed at one point and want to do a temp drop at night, Herpstat has a night drop feature as does Helix :)

    I never think I will get in to breeding, but im glad i didn't spend 155 dollars for a helix with the timer option.
