Zoo Med ReptiTemp 500R Thermostat Review

Zoo Med ReptiTemp ThermostatThe Zoo Med ReptiTemp® 500R Thermostat/Remote Sensor is an economical way to make sure your box turtle’s habitat stays at the right temperature. It can be mounted on the habitat, out of the way. And the 6-foot cord on the remote sensor probe is long enough that you can monitor the temperature in any part of the habitat, no matter where you mounted the control unit.
