Digital temperature

[malbone]

Hi - I thought these may allow you to set say for example a day time and a night time temp by controlling on off of the heat source but do they only record the highest and lowest temp for just one spot - been looking at ones from $30 to $40.............thanks mal

Not sure what your question actually is but I guess you are talking about min/max thermometers?

min/max thermometers?[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure either but min/max sounds right - it's called a Digital Temperture thermostat and it has a power point that you can plug a plug into it - so i'm guessing you can plug you heater into it and it will keep the temp in that range - what would be really useful is if it was able to set up a day/night time temp..............thanks mal

Can you link the ones you are talking about?

I doubt you could set up a heat source with a different day/night temp.

sorry i don't understand the above quote

i'm guessing all you can do then is set a min/max so the heat keeps going off and on...........

or do they just maintain one set temp

Can you post a link to the thermostat you are looking at getting?
Failing that the brand and model?

there are heaps that look the same

You set the temp at whatever you want the temp to be,that temp will be measured at the probe.The thermostat will keep the temp stable +/- 1C. No night time drop.

I don't have any reptiles as yet but setting up - I hoped it had a brain to handle day night but still be good not to cook Barking Geckos especially in summer when we get a handful of days over 40c............thanks for your answer as I now understand what they do............
