Temp Control Device

[Rexandtink]

Hi everybody,
I am a former member of mybeardie.com which has lost the battle against spam. I wanted to pop in to say hello but I also want to ask which temperature control device people would recommend the most. I would prefer something less expensive and have four outlets for the two uvb's and two basking lamps for my dragons Rex and Tinkerbell.

I personally do not have a temp control device on my vivs. At the moment i just check the temps when I'm feeding or walking by, and adjusting wattages on the bulbs. I have heard of people using dimmers on basking lamps, which are pretty cheap. Would basically involve having a high watt bulb and just adjusting the power to raise or lower the temps. Don't even bother with the pet store rheostats, its just an expensive dimmer. Kind of how they jack up the price for reptile basking lights, when any household bulb would do.

Hi :wave:
I also never use a temp control device. I switch out bulbs as needed and raise/lower the basking spot. A dimmer would probably work pretty good, I use one with my snakes heat mat and its better then the pricey retrostat I tried once.
