I'm bad at understanding written instructions so this video really helped clear things up for a visual learner like me! Thank you for making this video! It really made it so much simpler.
Glad it helped! 🐢
I have 6 of these! 5snakes and a blue tongue skink and they work beautifully and saves space instead of huge heat lamps and also power efficient
Good catch! I've got 2 of them, they work great!
I might be getting one thermosthat but I've got a question... How does the thermostat work at night if it gets too cold? I mean the heat mat stays on so how does it work if the temperature descends beyond the one u selected? Or the heat mat goes off at night? Can u explain me pls?!?
Ruly Islas if the tempature goes too below or too above the temp you set the light will turn off and correct itself.
I mean how did you get yours to work how long does it take for the heat mat to heat and the temperature to set on the thermostat
I just bought one for my Zoo Med UTH, love how long the cord is for the probe. Great for running it under the soil in my bio set up for my BP also if your probe reads 1HH when first installing just give it a bit the thermostat will turn off the pad until it cools down and will pick back up to get the right temp.
Super helpful even years later! Just got mine and set it up in less than 10 mins thanks to this video
That's great to hear, glad it helped! 😃
I have the hygrotherm, works great and has made my life stress-free when it comes to making sure my pixie frog is always comfortable!
Irving Zisman does the Hygrotherm work on heat pads
@@flyingbirdy2658 i think so
I have 2 and I love them ! I’ll be getting 3 more soon for my other animals
Great help thanks after reading it twice still no good watched your step by step video and it’s done thanks Boss😊
Glad it helped. 🙂
Hey, I bought this device and it has worked beautifully for about 2 years now! However, within the last month it fails to turn of the heat lamp. Everything is set up the same that it always has been, but my heating lamp never shuts off unless I do it manually. How can I fix this?
How strange. Please contact our Customer Service and they should be able to help in more detail:

Hope that helps.
So can I just connect the thermostat cord to my heat mat
Yes, the Heat Mat can be plugged into the ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat.
Why do they read "1HH°F" when the temperature is over 100°F?
Or am I just unlucky to have 2 brand new thermostats that are defective?
I'm experiencing the same issue...
Thanks I will get this for my pet snake I love all of your products all of my 27 pets are in your cages
Great to hear! 😁
Glad your pets are enjoying our products. 😊
If youre in heat mode, when does it turn the heat source off? It looks like you set a low temp you want it to trigger the heat source on, say 85°, but i didnt see a setting to trigger the heat source back off?
I want it to be bracketing my temp between 100 and 105°.
For Heat mode, the temperature you set is the one that the ReptiTemp thermostat will attempt to match.
So for the range 100º-105º, I would suggest setting your thermostat somewhere in the middle like 102º/103º, that way it will turn devices on if they fall below 102º/103º and turn off once they reach that temp, allowing for residual heat to carry it a little higher.
When the temperature drops below the set temp, devices will turn on again.
Hope that makes sense.
Feel free to contact our Customer Service for more help:
1-888-496-6633
Yes!!,more videos
Would recommend 👌 works well for my grow room.
So heat mode turns on the device when it drops to a set temperature but can you program it to then turn it off after the temp rises to a set temperature?
The ReptiTemp can only be set to one mode at a time, but in most cases one of the two modes should work. From your description, the ReptiTemp's 'COOL' Mode may be the more suitable option.

Hope that helps.
Ashley is back!
Drinking game: take a shot every time she says ReptiTemp (Registered Trademark) Digital Thermostat
You play a dangerous game.
This video was really helpful! However, I think I might have made a mistake and I'm not sure how to fix it. While setting up the thermostat, I had the lamp plugged in and it was on by mistake. Before I could change the programmed heat, the lamp reached 77 degrees, which is the base setting for this thermostat. Even after changing the programmed heat, it just stays at 77 degrees. i don’t know if it’s a problem with what I did or if it’s the bulb? Is there a way to reset it or something?
Hmm, by your description, your actions shouldn't have affected the thermostat.
Please reach out to our Customer Service and they should be able to help in more detail. They can be reached at:

Hope that helps.
Good product 👍
If I connect this to a separate day/night timer will it remember its settings? I’m looking for a natural day/night cycle for my reptiles
While this isn't a setup we use ourselves, the ReptiTemp does save its programming in case of power lose, so it should work in the way you described when plugged into a timer. Hope that helps.
I got this the 1st week it came out . I LOVE IT ! I’m going to buy a 2ed one for my crested gecko
unless it's normally cold for you, crested geckos don't need a lot of heat and can overheat easily
Mork it’s 69 degrees Fahrenheit in my house and colder in the mornings for some reason . Its set to 77
Hi i just got mine from the store today and i want to know why is it going past the set temperature once i set it to 82 it kept going up slowly
When the temperature keeps rising, is the flame icon on the thermostat's screen still appearing?
The flame icon indicates that the plugged in device is receiving power from the thermostat.
If the flame icon is NOT on and the temperature is still rising, it may be due to the residual heat being given off by the heated objects in your terrarium or possibly the local temperatures of the room your habitat is in. If that's the case, you may need to adjust the settings on your thermostat to better meet your preferred temp.
If this isn't the case, please reach out to our Customer Service for help in more detail:
1-888-496-6633
Hope that helps.
I’ve been looking everywhere to try and figure out if this is a dimming or proportional thermostat but haven’t seen this language confirmed anywhere online or on the product itself. Can anyone confirm this for me? Need to know if this is compatible with a basking bulb for my baby boa💕
The ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat works by turning the connected device On and Off, not dimming.
It should work fine with a basking bulb. Hope that helps.🐢
Can you turn the background light off? It’s super bright
The current version of the ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat does not dim.
How do you set it up for leopard geckos I I have no clue how to use this thing and what temperature would I need to set up as for my gecko for the heating pad please help I found trying to set it up very confusing
The video should break down most of the controls for setting up, but if not, written instructions can be found on our website, as long as our recommendations for keeping Leopard Geckos:

If the temperature that your probe is reading falls below the temperature you've set for the thermostat, it will turn on any heat device that is plugged in and will remain on until the temperature being monitored is back to the programmed temperature.
Make sure your plugged in heating device is appropriate for reaching the temperature you desire.
Hope that helps.
I am yet to try this thermostat! But it seems very similar to the hygrotherm and from my experience with the hygrotherm, I’m guessing this will work just as well.
Snakedude1814 I have the zoo med Hygrotherm and zoo med Digital thermostat . I have a question. Does the Hygrotherm work for heat pads or should I buy a 2ed thermostat for the heat pad . I have the Hygrotherm hooked up to my fogger and heat pad but I want to know if it works good for the UTH as good as the Digital thermostat
Flying Birdy, The Hygrotherm can work with a heat mat. But it’s more designed for ambient humidity and heat control (Ex. Fogger + Ceramic Heat Emitter). I’d probably be better for you to look into the Thermostat for use with a under tank heater.
Woth the propbe. Can i full close the mesh lid? I dont want to damage the cord but i have to keep the tank locked
Depending on how tight the lid fits on, pinching the wire may damage it. Zoo Med enclosures include a small dock towards the back of the top for wires to fit through without exposing any openings for your pet. Check to see if your enclosure has any. If not, you may need to find another way to fit the probe through like puncturing a small hole in the mesh top. Hope that helps.
Will it turn off your heat mat if it get too hot and turn it on if it get to cold
Yes, the ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat automatically manages the connected device depending on the temperatures inside your pet's habitat. See our website for more info:
www.zoomed.com
I've tried 3 different heat matts with different wattage and none of them go over 80 degrees. Am I doing something wrong or did i just get a faulty unit?
The ReptiTemp Thermostat controls temperature but it can not force the plugged in heating element to exceed its max heating capabilities. If you're not getting the temperature you need, I would recommend a stronger overhead heat source to increase ambient temperatures (try to avoid using a heat mat larger or more powerful than what is recommended for your sized habitat). If you have any questions, feel free to contact our Customer Service at:
1-888-496-6633
Hope that helps, take care.
okay, question, if you get this to control a CHE (ceramic heat emitter) will it turn my CHE off if it goes over the desired temperature? and if it gets too cold, does it turn the bulb on by itself until it gets to the desired temperature
Yes, the Thermostat will auto-regulate the power to the plugged in device in order to best maintain the programmed temperature.
Remember, the Thermostat is only as powerful as the plugged in device.
Hope that helps.
Can i turn the beep off?
Yes, the alarm can be turned off.
Is there a place to stick the probe on a ZooMed reptitemp heat pad? I don’t see any place I can plug it in.
You'll want to set the probe in the area you want to monitor. The Heat Pad would plug into the ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat.
Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc. Thank you so much, I appreciate the quick reply. Where could I plug it in?
There is an outlet on the front of the ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat where the device you want to control with the thermostat can be plugged in.
Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc. Oh, thank you so much, that will really come in handy. I look forward to purchasing more of your products, they are the safest supplies I know of. Again, thank you for the help!
If you using a heat pad only you put the probe on top of you heat pad?
Generally, the probe should be placed in an area that best represents the temperatures that your pet is experiencing, so in this case yes, placing it near the heat pad at a similar level to where your pet would be is the best way to monitor that heating device.
It's also important to monitor the ambient day/night temperatures of your pet's habitat as well to make sure they are getting healthy temperatures. Check out our website for more info and heating supplies:
www.zoomed.com
Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc. they going to be set on 90 in winter because is gets cold in my open closet
Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc. in summer is gets 85 in my room so I set it for 75
Can you put it in between the tanks bottom and the heat mat
If the thermostat is supposed to regulate the temperature, why the alarms? Wouldn’t the thermostat increase or decrease the temp as needed?
As with any alarm, they are there as just a precaution.
The thermostat will help regulate temperatures to the best of its abilities, but if the plugged in device malfunctions or if the temperature of the surrounding environment were to drastically change, the alarm would sound to let you know.
Hope that explains it. Take care.
@@ZooMed it did. Thank you!
Is this product good for an aquatic turtle tank?
Hmm, not so much. The probe for the ReptiTemp isn't meant to be submerged, but could work with their basking area.
If you need something for the water, maybe check out our Paludarium Heater: zoomed.com/paludarium-heater/
It's submersible and allows you to adjust the temp and has a digital monitor on the front that says the current temp.
Hope that helps.
Why is mine not accurate
Hmm, I would double check it's on your preferred temperature setting and that the probe is undamaged and is in the appropriate spot that you are monitoring. If that still doesn't help, please reach out to our Customer Service at:
1-888-496-6633
Hope that helps.
Can you include these in your kits?
The goal of our Starter Kits is to attempt to provide as many of the basics for pet keeping, while still being cost effective and allowing for customization.
The ReptiTemp is an incredibly helpful tool, but we felt other items would be more universal for a kit, and keepers could decide on their own if they needed the advanced control that the ReptiTemp provides.
Thank you for answering all my questions and great video, i probs wouldn't of caught that with such ninja like reflexes so kudos to you lol
Happy to help! :)
Can this not be used for humidity levels?
Not exactly. This operates based on temperature, and humidity does play a part in overall temperature, but if you're looking for something that monitors and controls humidity specifically, I would suggest our Environmental Control Center: zoomed.com/environmental-control-center/
Out of NO WHERE it started beeping and it said EE I dont kniw what to do
An 'EE' Error Code would indicate a sensor failure or that the temperature range has been exceeded.
Check your wire connections to see that they are firmly plugged in and that the wires for the probes aren't kinked. If that doesn't fix the error, please reach out our Customer Service:
1-888-496-6633
Hope that helps.
@@ZooMed my wires aren't kinked and they are firmly plugged as you suggested, but I know I can't call customer service, can I just get help through the replies?
@@the_persian_immortal Since there are a variety of ways that your habitat and Control Center could be set up, talking to a Customer Service Rep would be the best way to narrow down the issue if my initial suggestions didn't work. Their number again is: 1-888-496-6633
or if email is better: zoomed@zoomed.com
Hope that helps.
will this work with a ceramic heat emmiter reptile heat lamp ?
Yes! :)
How do you turn it off, just unplug it?
To turn if off completely, yes.
If you need help programming, review the instructions available on the product page:
zoomed.com/reptitemp-digital-thermostat/
Hope that helps.
Can someone tell me if you can put the thermometer thingy on the heat mat?
For the most accurate results, the probe should be placed near where the animal would be.
is this capable of turning off heating elements when temperatures raise above desired temps?
If programmed correctly, yes.
How do you tune down temp? It won’t let me
Please contact our Customer Service:
1-888-496-6633
How do you do it?
I'm using this, planning to, for a hamster. I can't use the wired probe. Will it work without the probe? I'm planning to use an analog thermometer to keep an eye on general temp in the enclosure?
In order to work correctly, the probe will need to be set up properly in the enclosure.
@@ZooMed Do you have any suggestions on how to do that? I'll put on the side towards to top because he's got 6 inches of bedding on the bottom.
Edited to add: I need him to stay over 65F. Even if house temps drop below 55-60F. Even without power it shouldn't get any colder than that. Just trying to make sure the little guy is safe for winter with all the crazy currently going on...
@@franny5295 For the best results, you'll want to place the probe where your pet best utilizes the plugged in heating or cooling element. For example, if you're using a heating lamp you'll want to place it in the spot where they bask. If they have the tendency to chew wires, try placing it as close to the desired location while still being out of reach. Hope that helps.
This seems nice, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. The alarm is nice, but what I need is something that can control itself when I'm not at home. Like when the heat goes over the set temperature, the thermometer would read this and shut off the heating device for me and allow time for it to cool, then turn itself back on once it goes below a certain temperature. Is there any device like that you could recommend?
Good news! That's exactly what this product does. It can be used for heating or cooling and will maintain the programmed temp.
@@ZooMed I see, thank you for letting me know. To be more specific, my primary heating device is a 100-watt Nocturnal Infrared Bulb for my kingsnake, so I needed to find a way to maintain a temperature between 75-85 degrees without it getting too hot.
The ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat has a control range of 50ºF-122ºF, so it can be programed for that temperature assuming the plugged in heating device is capable. The ReptiTemp will heat to the programed temp before powering off, and then powering on again when temps drop, thus maintaining the programmed temp. Hope that helps.
@@ZooMed It does, thank you.
Is this run on battery?
No, the ReptiTemp Digital Thermostat needs to be plugged into an outlet.
I put my probe right on top of the heat mat
Could you make a bulb that instead of heating the tank it cools the tank?
Lol
Install a fan
Will it shut my under tank heater off when it gets too high
Correct. If set up correctly, it should manage the temperatures of the device you have plugged into the thermostat.
Will this work with a zoomed basking light?
Certainly!
HOW DO I TURN IT DOWN
When setting the controller, the temp can be set from 50ºF -> 120ºF before it cycles back to 50ºF.
So to turn it down, just press it up pass 120 and it'll cycle back to the lower temps. Hope that helps.
Can i use this with a deep heat projector?
Yes. The ReptiTemp can handle heating devices up to 600 watts. See our product page for more info:
zoomed.com/reptitemp-digital-thermostat/
is this pulse proportional or simple on/off
Since it is designed to work with a variety of heating and cooling devices, it is a on/off type mechanism.
What does error code EE mean?
Error code 'EE' indicates a sensor failure. Double check the connections to the Controller's temperature and humidity probes and make sure they are fully plugged in. Probes must be plugged in at all times even if they aren't in use to avoid the 'EE' error code.
If the problem persists, please reach out to our Customer Service for more detailed help:

For more info on the Environmental Control Center, see our How-to video:
ua-cam.com/video/-WhmVF5Q4tc/v-deo.html
Will this work for a heat panel?
Yes, the ReptiTemp Digital Thermometer can handle a device up to 600 watts. Make sure the Temperature Probe is placed correctly when using.
Does this have a frequency hum/buzz when its on?
The devices you plug into it may have a hum or buzz, but the thermostat itself shouldn't.
@@ZooMed thank you!
Alright. so we got one of these for our ball python and it worked great for the couple weeks we've had it but just today the alarm started going off and we literally can not get it to stop and I've tried everything the lady showed in this video.

Anyone use it for a 5 tub rack system
Hey, it's me again, since I'm going to use the Excavator Clay Kit for a substrate, what's the best heating method I can use for my tank?
P.S I going to use this!
Depends on how you plan on setting up your pet's habitat. Heat lamps, heat cables, placing the Under Tank Heater on the side glass, or adding a humidity chamber can all be suitable options. See our website for heat guides and a full list of heating options:
