Thermostat for UTH?

I have a ZooMed Under the Tank Heater. Haven't gotten my snake yet, so I'm still preparing. Do I need a thermostat for a ZooMed under the tank heater, or do they come with thermostats?

you will need to buy a thermostat

Yes, you need a stat, and they probably don't have them at your local Petsmart. One highly-recommended (and cheaper) option is the Hydrofarm on Amazon. Other options include Johnson, Ranco, and Herpstats (Spyderrobotics.com), but these are more expensive.

is that good for gut one uth or more then one

If you have two IDENTICAL setups and UTHs, it could work for both, but you will need a splitter/power strip, because I believe it only has one plug spot.

so i can use this the put like an extention cord on it to split it?

Yes, just make sure you don't exceed the total wattage limit of the thermostat.

He's asking if the thermostat (Hydrofarm) is food for one or more UTHs.
He added an extra word in there...So it made it confusing

Okay, haha. Thanks. I was like, 'uhmmm... Is this some term I'm not familiar with?'

Would a place like Petco/Petsmart/Walmart sell a thermostat that works, or should I try to find somewhere else?

Whoops. Typo.

Food = good.


You can find a budget thermostat on Amazon. It's by Hydrofarm and $27.
There are much better like the Herpstat or Vivarium Electronics. But they are more expensive.
