Just wondering whether people use thermostats or whether people don't so that the temperature drops a bit at night like in the wild

My thermostat is set on timer for the light and certain temperature for the heat lamp

U know better than to post that mate......u have experience beyond all of the newbies but they r here for your input..(yes I understand the op throws many a thread) considering they have owned snakes for some time...my collection is fully thermostat controlled for the interest of the OPWhats a thermostat.?
None of my herps heating is controlled by thermostats.
Ive lost count of how many times over the years that people I know of have cooked animals thru thermostats malfunctioning, its more common than you think.

I use them cause I'm a tight butt and would rather use less electricity. Dimming thermostats are great and extend the life of your globes/CHE too. Get two wired in series and they will last years!
Perth also has large fluctuations in ambient temp. 7 degrees to 28 isn't uncommon. So using a heat source that can get the desired temp is just a basic. That said the thermostats I use are fail safe. They turn off if they fail. Most new thermostats are like that. I'm an electrical designer and fail safe is a typical design feature for most things these days.
Some of the old crusty members were around before electricity. So naturally they don't trust the automated control of it hahaha Step into 2014 heat panels and modern thermostats are a brilliant way to control thermal gradients.
