I recently posted about my BP's hot hide getting up to 100*F. (Since then, I have shut it off and used a 75 watt heat lamp.) I am going this afternoon to buy a thermostat, but Im not sure what would be right for my use. Me and my fiancé are at work all day so im looking for something that will cool down or shut off automatically once it reaches above or below a certain temp. My room is huge and its summer, so its hot during the day but gets cooler at night. I have a UTH for his warm side, and I will sometimes use a 75 watt heat lamp bulb in the afternoon and switch to a 55 or 65 watt blue night bulb at night. Again, im looking for something that I can make sure will not allow his UTH or heat lamp to get too hot or too cool. Im currently looking for a larger tank for him so Im on a bit of a budget. Iv gone to Petco for suggestions in the past (Only had him for about 4-6 weeks) and cant say it was helpful or successful.
Suggestions for thermostats/rheostats would be helpful!
