Thermostat and heat lamp/bulbs?

[DeathByDabs]

So I am having trouble keeping my heat where it needs to be at night when temps drop. Its not too bad but nonetheless I want to get a thermostat to control two lamps. One at 92 for the basking and another at 82 for cool side. Is there a product that will control both independently with their own temperature needs or am I going to have to get two seperate thermostats? What can anyone recommend?

Ps- I know people prefer tubs here over tanks, but he is my only snake and I want a visual cage. Also my Gf does not trust uths so I am forced to use heat lamps.

Many tstat can control multiple devices.

I love my Hertstats. They have Herstat1, 2, and 4. The 1 controls 1 item the 2 controls 2 and so on.

They also ship quickly from the maker.

Those look perfect! A little spendy, but look worth it. Would they control humidity by installing a mister in your tank? Don't have humidity issues, just wondering...

I'm going to have to wait a little before I can buy one, but I'm super excited now lol.

Any others that do most of these features but are cheaper?

I'm guessing you need more heat. Are you going to use higher watt bulbs and rely on the tstat to dial them down to where you want them?

Do you not run a a/c or heater to keep your house the same temp?

I use a CHE and day and night bulb setup and by keeping Mt home the same temp they never fluctuate.

The upper models 1, 2, 4 can control humidity but you have to get the humidity sensor separate. The basic models will not control it.

Any tstat that can do everything like these are going to cost about the same. I have the 1 and 4 with another 4 to be bought soon and absolutely love them.

No I don't need more heat, I have the lamps on dimmers as-is to get them perfect. My plan is to turn them up a little so they get hot enough at night, but on a thermostat to turn them off when getting too hot. And so on.

Also I'm looking into if the ones he linked are able to dim the lights instead of on/off. I think they can, but not sure if that feature would work with my fluker dimmer lamp...


Also we have a thermostat in his room but it is always cold in the mornings... I think its faulty.

I Know the 4 can simulate sunrise and sunset with lights for a day and night cycle. It can only turn fluorescent lights on and off though.

If you mean for the heat lamps. Having it on the proportional mode should dim them to lower the temp.

These tstats also have night drop. This allows you to have the tstat drop the temp by a set number of degrees if you want.

I use RHP and UTH with mine.

So with the 2 it should be able to dim my heat lamps instead of just on/off? I don't need a sunrise/sunset as he gets lots of natural light.

Let me go plug one in so I don't lie to you.

Yes it does.
