Night Time Heat without the glow?

Sweet Thanks for the input, all mine seem to be like that so sweet! and how do i go about setting it to a thermostat? Don't have a lot of room to work with to have wires hanging about.

Shifty

It's really only one more wire. Most seem to be in the $30 range. Googling "reptile thermostat" bought up a multitude of different options to choose from, but the basic gist of it is that instead of plugging your heat source directly into a power socket, you plug it into the thermostat, which has a dial/digital display that you set to the temperature you want. It's almost like an extension cord, only it regulates temperatures. :P

I will say though, I lived in a second floor apartment, and even when we moved them from our room to the family room I only needed the UTH on during the summer. The only time I turned any extra heat sources is when we had the windows open at night, since it got a little chilly.

Hi again. Like was said, you'll have one more wire, which is the t-stat probe, which will need to be in the cage, but you would just plug the fixture with the CHE into the t-stat, then plug the t-stat into the wall. And I wouldn't bother unplugging it during the summer, it won't run unless needed, so your cage temps won't get too low if you happen to have a cooler than expected night. You could also check amazon and search "hydrofarm". A lot of people seem to use these successfully, but I don't have one myself and am only going by what I've read.
