Zoo Med Repticare Terrarium Controller

I used to use smart strip outlets, which were convenient, but I found myself annoyed by the frequent disconnects when I needed to turn off the lights in my bearded dragon habitat.Since I’m a fan of Zoomed products, I decided to give this one a try. It’s easy to use and program, with two separate rows: one for the timer and one for standard plug-in. At first glance, the dial may seem a bit confusing, but once you read the directions, it becomes straightforward. I also appreciate the tactile experience of pressing the small gray buttons on the dial.Now, I don’t have to worry about my dragon’s habitat lights not turning on or off due to connectivity issues. This experience has made me realize that manual timers can be more reliable than smart timers.

I like this a lot but still need to figure out how to set the timer correctly.

I should have bought this years ago.Having the light automatically turn off and on for mornings and evenings is amazing - when traveling, of course, but also for busy mornings so I don't have to run back in the house to ensure I put the light on for my snake.Amazing product!I will say that the time keeping is obviously not super exact, so it can't easily be set for an exact time, like 7 pm precisely. That's okay for us and our family though.

Very nice timer, works like a charm and ive had it for months now, no issues and easy to use, very durable timer esp good deal!!!

Great timer & Great price. Best price around. I have bought 2 & really like them. I wish you could set multiple timers but it's still great. I use it for my bearded dragons lights.

This is an amazingly helpful product. It helps organize all my equipment, it grounds all of the electrical currents and, of course, it has a timer. I have this set up for a painted turtle and a leopard gecko. The painted turtle has a UVB light and a basking light that need to be on for 12 hours a day. The turtle also has a water heater and water filtration unit that need to be on 24/7. The gecko has an under terrarium heating pad and a black light for heat that need to be on 24/7.I set this up between my aquarium and terrarium. In the timed outlets, I placed the lamp with the UVB light bulb and the lamp with the basking light bulb. I turned the light switches for both of these lamps to the on position. In the regular outlets, I placed the water heater, water filter, heat pad and black light. Make sure all of these are turned on as well if they have an individual power button. Next, I set the timer on the power strip. The timer has all the hours of the day; the white numbers are AM and the black ones are PM. I set mine so that all the tabs from 9am to 9pm were in the down position and the rest of the tabs were in the up position. In addition to setting the tabs, the dial must also be turned to set the current time. After all this was completed, I flipped the power switch on the controller to the on position. Voila.The four items I need to be on 24/7 stay on all day and night. The two items I need on 12 hours a day turn on and off at the correct times they are set for. I could not be happier. (1) I don't have to worry about forgetting to turn the turtle lamps on and off. (2) I don't have to worry that a power failure or power surge will send an electric current to my underwater heater and kill my turtle. (3) All of my electrical devices are now in one easy place and can be shut off and on with one flip of a switch. I also used my label maker to make tags for all the plugs so that I know which cord is which. I feel like this is the perfect setup for me and I can see it working very well for others too.

I was so excited to get this and set it up for my breaded dragon. I got it and can’t get it to set I have done everything that the instructions say to do.

Works and times perfect
