Habistat - Classic On/Off Mat Stat Thermostat - Black - 300w - Accurate Dial - Easy to Use - Ideal For Controlling Heat Mats

This is one of my fav thermostats becouse of the dial and the light that shows the matt is on. Its clear and allows you good control over my snakes heat matt. In the UK where the temprsture can get a bit up and down its useful to make sure my pet is not over or under heated. It's not what I'd call cheap but it's good and hasn't shown any wear and tare in the past 6 months so I'd say it's worth the money

Habistat is a brand that can be relied upon. It is one of the only safe brands of thermostats to be used for regulating your precious reptile pet's heating requirements to be considered. I have bought and used many of this company's products and they never let me down. This stat is simple to install, its sitting at a great price point, its well built, feels great quality, and is easy to adjust the temperature to control the enclosure temperature with reasonable accuracy. If you require pinpoint accuracy, you'd be well advised to opt for a more expensive, WiFi enabled, digital stat, but for its price this is a very functional little stat.

Easy to set up and use, offers peace of mind to maintain the temperature, however dial is a bit fiddly and could be better.

Really happy I bought this. Easy to set up and definitely gives me leave of mind about temp consistency. I have my long heat mat plugged in to it.

Works great

Its easy to use and set up. My only criticism is that the dial you turn is not easy to view which temperature you are setting it to. Its easier to see and understand on the white one.

Excellent quality and you can't do without these habistats I would recommend them every time.

I have the version with a dial easily turned by hand. I have a thermometer taped to the sensor and have experimented with it in several areas of my vivarium. Heat is provided by a heat mat stuck to the side of the tank. It is very hard to ensure that it is hitting the correct temperatures. This could possibly be down to it not functioning amazingly with a heat mat but it appears to be 2 degrees lower than set most of the time. I will say though that it does shut off correctly when needed to though and it does hold the temperature that it is set at, even if the dial doesn't correspond, so I have never had to fear for my pets over heating due to it. In Ireland there can be crazy temperature changes just by opening a window or curtains in a room, and it seems that it can keep up.
