Dimming thermostats

[Moniqueamorgan]

Hello everyone!

I’m still struggling to get my temps cool enough on the cool side and was wondering if anyone can suggest a good dimming thermostat. The ones that I’m considering are a Herpstat or the exoterra 600w.

Please share your thoughts!
My babies are in two separate 4x2x2 pvc enclosures FYI

Thanks!

I use a Herpstat 2 and like it. You would be able to program each outlet to control one of the basking lights if you wanted to, allowing you to control both enclosures from one box if they are close enough to eachother. I use one outlet to control the basking light via dimming mode and the other to control a heat projector to keep overnight temps up via pulse mode. They are pretty configurable.

Thank you! I bit the bullet and bought the new herpstat 2 spyderweb. Doesn’t seem like the original herpstat 2 is available anymore, but this has some neat features.

Let me know how that one works out for you. I'm interested in some of the remote features and updated controls but haven't seen one in person.
