SENSTREE Reptile Temperature Controller with 3 Outlets, timer thermostat

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) gives this reptile thermostat its black shell, and the unit measures 10.8 x 3.2 x 11 cm (4.3 x 1.3 x 4.3 in). Three outlet sockets work independently, so two heat lamps or mats can serve two different zones or two different tanks. Two waterproof probes sit in the timer temperature outlets, and each probe reads its own area while the third socket runs on its own settings.

What the controller can run and where it fits

The thermostat suits reptiles, amphibians or plants, and the manufacturer's list of animals includes frogs, tortoises, bearded dragons, corn snakes, chameleons, ball pythons, lizards and snakes. Heating and cooling devices are both managed by it: into its sockets you can plug incubators, fans, A/C units, heat sinks, blowers and heaters, plus ceramic heat lamps, heat mats, UVA lamps and UVB lamps.

Two different temperatures can be set for two separate areas, and with two heat lamps or mats the unit covers two zones or two separate tanks. If your setup needs more than three devices switched at once, or equipment that is not a heater, cooler, lamp, fan or blower, the three sockets will not cover it.

How do the day/night control and the probes work?

• Day/night temperature and timing control are built into the unit, so the schedule and the temperature set point are handled on the same controller.
• The dual probes sit in two timer temperature outlets that work individually, letting each of those sockets follow its own probe reading.
• Both temperature sensors are waterproof, which matters in a damp terrarium or around a misting setup.
• A high and low temperature alarm is included, so the controller signals when a reading passes either limit.

Setting time, temperature and calibration

The time and the temperature are both yours to set, and a timing function controls the lighting time. A time cycle function repeats that schedule, and the temperature calibration function lets you adjust the reading. Readings can be shown in °C or °F.
