Basic Guidelines for Heating Vivaria Reptiles are Ectotherms, that is they heat themselves and regulate their body temperature by means of the environment. They move in and out of hot and cool areas to maintain their preferred temperature. It is therefore important that the vivarium has a suitable temperature gradient for the reptiles to behave naturally. The heater should be placed at one end of the vivarium in a condition that does not heat the whole of the enclosure. In this way the temperature will vary between the hot area near the heater and the cooler areas at ambient temperature. For sophisticated temperature management the thermostat and heater can be fed via a HabiStat Sun or Moon Switch. This will give day/night and seasonal synchronisation. Size Matters Heaters must be large enough to heat the vivarium to the required temperature. An underrated heater will rarely supply enough heat to reach the temperature set on the HabiStat. Too large a heater will supply so much heat that the HabiStat will only supply a very small amount of power. This would lead to poor temperature management and may cause the heater to fail. Hot air escaping through the top of the cage More than one heater may be controlled by the HabiStat, providing the total load of 600 watts is not exceeded. Heaters should be effectively guarded so that animals cannot be accidentally burnt. This is especially important when using ceramics, as the surface temperature of these heaters can get very hot and my burn animals, people and flammable materials. Think Safety First! Heater HabiStat Heater will be controlled at the set temperature but only at the point of the sensor Put all the heaters, background and hot spot, at one end of the cage. Leave one end of the cage unheated. Areas warmer than the set temperature. Mains Perches and hides that allow thermoregulation. Ventilation allowing cool air in. Areas cooler than the set temperature. Build up one end to allow burrowing. The structure must be a matrix of soft and ridged materials which allow tunnels to be dug but not their subsequent collapse. The sensor is best placed in a direct line of sight with the heater. Cool Temperature gradient Hot Positioning the HabiStat sensor to obtain a thermal gradient. …Using the HabiStat. sensor that are cooler than the set temperature. The HabiStat will control the heater at the level set on the dial and detected at the sensor. The function of the remote sensor is to enable selection of the site at which the temperature can be sampled and controlled. The range of the temperature gradient will be proportional to the distance between the sensor and the heater and the ambient temperature. If the HabiStat is set at a temperature on the dial but the sensor is placed away from the heater there will be areas near the heater that are hotter than the set temperature. Similarly, if the sensor is placed near the heater, there will be areas away from the It should also be noted that as hot air rises, setting the sensor at the top of a vivarium will only maintain the required temperature at that point. A vivarium that houses ground dwelling animals may be too cool if set up in such a way. Place the sensor where the animals are likely to be, preferably in a direct line of sight to the heater. Some criteria for controlling the temperature are: • Ensure that the placement of the sensor is representative of the temperature required, use common sense in choosing the position. • • Remember that the HabiStat will be most accurate in the middle of its range. Try to use this, rather than the extremes, to maintain accurate control of temperature. Although the dial is accurate the temperature should always be checked with a thermometer. reflect this by flashing at a rate relative to the amount of energy being used. The heater is rarely switched either fully on or completely off and is therefore kept warm, rather than alternately hot and cold. This extends the life of the equipment as neither electrical or thermal extremes are common. …Pulse Proportional Control …Finally A pulse proportional thermostat uses a very accurate method of temperature control. Like the name suggests, power is fed to the heater in pulses, the frequency of which is proportional to the amount of power required. The 'Heat' neon will It is important to remember that temperature control is critical to the successful keeping of reptiles. HabiStat thermostats use hi-tec sophistication to give precise control and peace of mind. Text, Illustrations & Design © Euro Rep Ltd.

A very accurate electronic thermostat that pulses power and is especially suitable for use with ceramic heaters. Suitable for use in vivaria, aquaria, terraria, and horticulture. Or in photography and home brewing where very accurate control is required. Waterproof, chemically resistant probe 3 AMP All three leads are supplied at a useful length. This allows for the maximum flexibility. As the leads must not be cut, they can be tidied with cable ties and this will accommodate any extra wire. The long wires mean virtually any cage can enjoy the benefits of HabiStat control. This brings unparalleled choice, convenience and safety.
