Recommendations on a dual terrarium timer just for lights. The Zoo Med I had crapped out after one year. Thanks

Check out the HPM mechanical 24 hr timers (made to be used domestically, simply plug in to the wall socket , set the on off time/s , and plug a double adapter the front end , and basking and UV lights plug into that
>> this is what many people use here in Australia :
manual 24 hr timers for lights

10A (H/duty version) https://www.bunnings.com.au/hpm-compact-heavy-duty-double-pole-24hr-timer_p0043489

I use one of these 7 day programmable digital timers for my lights (is rated at 10A)
https://www.bunnings.com.au/hpm-24-7-slimline-digital-timer_p4420556 , mine is over 10yrs old and has never failed.

I'm sure similar domestic inline timers are available in the USA just about in every supermarket.

I currently have
1 bearded tank (UV and basking globe)
2 bluetongue skink tanks (UV and basking globes)
1 water skink tank (UV and basking globe) connected to this via an 8 output HPM surgeprotected powerboard.
Works a treat.

You only have 2 lights , so you only need something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/hpm-double-adaptor-2-pack_p4330245

I'd avoid REPTILE BRAND timers , most of them are junk unless you pay through the nose.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
