I’m looking after a friend’s children’s python. I think there’s an issue with either the thermostat or bulb, or both. It has been tripping the circuit, and now the heat/cool function isn't working and the tank was overheating.
I can’t find a manual for the thermostat online, only some set up...
Hey all.
My current thermostat just died and had it for a very long time.
It was a Day/Night Dimming + Timer
DMT-100AU
Little frustrating to set up but once set up was ok.
Since technology has improved and expanded I was wondering if there was any better options out there.
I have older...
Bought a second hand tank which came with an Anycontrol AC-210 thermostat with it. Fining it hard to find instructions for this particular model. I've tried setting it up as best I could, but can't work out what the degree option is after the DL, comes up with a default of 20° and was hoping...
Questions regarding heating globes and thermostats;
I am heating my pythons during the day with a reflector globe on a dimming thermo, providing a basking spot but want the enclosures to be heated with a ceramic for night time as the ambient temps in my house drop dramatically during the winter...
Hey guys so I was setting up an bigger enclosure for one of my baby snakes but realized my spare thermostat is buggerd. It won't keep Temps correctly or accurately anymore, gonna be using a heat mat with it so I'm wondering if those inkbird thermostats work ok with a heat mat. I'll put a pic of...
Hi all,
I have 3 year old spotted python who has been having a 100w basking light on and off with a timer. The globe blows within the 3 month range.
I was wondering if people have had success with a globe from bunnings on timer and if so, what bulb?
He’s in a 60x90cm enclosure and has his...
Ive got a 45x45x60 Exo Terra for my green tree frogs. I’m looking to change from using infrared as a heat source to a heat mat.
It seems like heat mats use on/off type thermostats over dimming.
I’m looking for recommendations on thermostats and possibly also heat mats.
I’m in Adelaide so not...
Hi everyone,
I’m getting set up for a Stimsons Python hatchie and having fun comparing and weighing up all the different information. I’ve settled on the Reptile one starter kit, as I prefer it to the plastic lunchbox systema option and think I’ve heard enough good reports to be confident it’s...
Hi again guys.
I’m currently using a 75w infrared exo terra bulb in a small light dome. Tank is the 45x45x60. With 3 baby green tree frogs in it. The tank is bioactive so there is often moisture around.
I’m getting some good temperatures however I would really like to add a thermostat so I...
Hi guys! I am planning on getting my first snake (a hatchling Stimson's python) in the next couple of weeks and I was hoping that you could provide me with some advice. I have done a lot of research and i am getting very confused about the heating and lighting requirements for pythons.
I...
I am looking to get a dual zone pulse thermostat that has 2 probes in Australia but am having trouble locating one. It would be nice to also have a timer as well.
I cant seem to find any australian models of the VE300x2 or herpstat.
I am setting up a new tank with a overhead heating element...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking at thermostat options for when my hatchling Diamond moves into his more sophisticated enclosure.
I'll want a thermostatically controlled (heat and time) 60W reflector lamp, and a fluorescent light on a timer.
Is there anything that can do all this? Or will I be...
Hi,
So I got a Yearling Children's Python.
I got a Thermo Hygrostat connected to a Heat Lamp, temperature set to 30°C.
But it says 22°C where the Temperature Probe is.
I have the probe set under where the heat light is, same level as the top of his hide (the hide is big enough for him to bask...
Help please,
Got a Yearling Children's Python and I've only had him for a few weeks and he hasn't eaten yet.
I got a Thermo Hygrostat connected to Heat Mat, Heat Lamp and UV Light.
The Thermo was set up at the pet shop that sells snakes but I don't know if the temperatures are right (the guy...

hi we have just gotten a repti-zoo thermostat to regulate the temperature. We have the heat lamp plugged into the thermostat. My question is how do we set it up to turn off and on when the temperature is right? It is the the dial one with the LED lights that are power and heat. Any advice would...
Hello everyone. When I got my coastal all he had was a heat pad platform.
I've recently added more greenery and installed a exo Terra heat lamp.
I'm just wondering where I should put the thermostat probe.
It was right where he laid on his platform but I feel that this would be too inaccurate...
Hey again!
I am getting a children's python and would just like to know what everyone uses for heating. I know I want to use a heat mat but I am unsure how many watts and also if I need to get one with a thermostat attached, separate or to get a completely different thing to check temperatures...
hey all!
I am a first time snake owner, and I have just acquired my little Stimmy yearling.
I was just wanting to ask a few questions, as I am starting to doubt if the heating and lighting is the best for him, and it’s causind me to panic a lot!
The enclosure I have for him has got two...
I bought a Stimmy and a whole set up today and I'm worried already about his home :(
The enclosure had this IMIT thermostat built into it: https://www.amazingamazon.com.au/imit-thermostat.html
I have hooked up two 75w infrared heat bulbs to it with mesh cages around them. Set it to 30C and...
Hello All,
Can someone please help me with which fuse fits an istat compact.
When it blew it cracked the part no. off and i can't read it anymore.
Also where can i get these fuses?
Thanks
I've had this ecotech advanced reptile thermostat for a while, but I've never really needed the heat at night because the temperature where I live hasn't really been cool enough to drop below 18°C for my bearded dragons at night. I have the temperature set to 38°C in the day time, and at night I...
