Zoo Med 500R Thermostat

[Black_Shark]

Hey I need some info on the Zoo Med 500R Thermostat.

1. Does it work on all heat pads and heat tape?
2. Can I rely on it to stop my snake from getting burned?
3. If you've ever owned one what are the pro's and con's of it?

They work great with the UTH but poorly with Flexwatt. With flkexwatt I was constantly adjusting but with my UTH I never have to touch the dial unless I have a temp swing in the 6-10 degree range which never happens thanks to my space heater. But flexwatt... yeah the reptitemp will not hold a steady temp.

Yes, you can rely on it. I have left my guys for over a week with it and when I came back, the temps were exactly like I left em.

Pros-cheap, reliable, easy.

Cons- Cheap, not digital, may have to be adjusted once in a awhile.
