oil filled vs. ceramic heaters

[Stewart_Reptiles]

This is what I use http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=7768653, also to achieve proper temps mine is plug into a Ranco thermostat.

Oil filled heaters are safe and can run 24/7 with no worry of fire hazard.

i already have a zoomed repti temp 500r thermostat. Will that work as the on/off?

it would depend on the wattage output, I doubt it will work, and I would highly recommend you a Ranco or Johnson thermostat.
