Aiicioo Under Tank Heater Thermostat - Hermit Crab Heater with Temperature Control 16 Watt Reptile Heating Pad for Reptiles Terrarium

I used this heater and temp controller to build a wintertime proofing box for my sourdough baking. I keep the house cool in the winter, so I needed just a little bit of heat to make my bread proofing work better. This controller/heater combo has worked perfectly for this.I stuck the heater to a cheap quarter sheet pan, and then stuck it inside of a big styrofoam cooler. I dropped the temp probe in and set the controller to 78F. It heated up rather quickly -- within 20 minutes, and kept the temp as steady as you can expect for a basic on/off controller.With nothing in the cooler, the temp goes up to about 80 degrees after the heater cuts off, and drops to about 76 after the heater kicks on before starting to climb again. Of course with something in the cooler, the swing isn't as big. The important thing is that it keeps my dough at around 76 degrees for the duration of proofing -- which it does just fine.The heating mat gets warm to the touch, but according to my IR gun doesn't get much above 105F, which is perfect. The temp probe appears to be accurate enough too for the air temp in the box, which I verified using my ThermaPen and the IR gun.Overall it works great for what I'm using it for!

I purchased this combo for a ball python terarium with coconut husk substrate. Cleaned under the tank with 99% iso alchohol dried it off and attached the heat pad. Take your time going over the pad you will see a color change to grey when it really bonds to the glass when looking inside the tank. I installed the probe down the corner of the tank and belowe the substrate woth scotch tape to prevent it from moving and also to get am accurate reading from the glass and not just above the substrate as they tend to burrow when coiling in their hide. I have a 50 gal tank other pets may benefot from a larger pad with a tak this size how ever i was just trying to heek the hot side hide at 90 which is where ball pythons typicaly spend their time is in them. Happy with the product. You will hear a kind of loud click when it turns on to adjust temp which some people may find annoying however I like the sound as it tells me these system is functioning properly I had previously had a Zoo Med pad without a regulator which lasted years but unfortunately the tank got moved there was not adequate ventilation and the pad overheated shorted out and caused a minor burn to my snake hearing it click on lets me know everything is functioning properly.

Heats up fast

Pour le prix, l'ensemble est génial. Je l'ai vérifier avec un thermomètre de grande qualité et ils étaient a 0.2 degré Celcius de différence donc pas de trouble pour mes reptiles

I bought this product and it constantly shuts off.. the box works.. the gadget isn't workingAnd with box plugged in, the thermostat pattern for the cage unplugged still reads 85 degrees or higher. With it plugged in temp is supposed to be 70 or lower and still reads abnormal.
