Can i use zoo med thermostat to control portable heater

Ok I'm returning it and buying a nice one, so if I get a nice one I can keep it on 24/7 in my pretty small closet? And that will work for how ever many snakes I get in the future ?

Don't know how big the closet you're talking about is (you don't want it touching doors or walls or anything like that), but yeah, you can heat a whole room with one. I use one of the radiant-oil heaters and keep my whole reptile room 76-80 ambient temp all the time.

Edit: Just be sure you have some way of managing the temp. to keep it from getting too hot. like that thermostat that was linked to earlier

Nice , yeah it's just a closet in my appartment , like one for the master bedroom so I mean it's not extremely small but not too big either

Most oil filled radiators recommend keeping at least 3 feet of clearance from the heater on all sides (including the top). Putting one in a closet is just asking for trouble if you ask me.
