Zilla Terrarium Heat & Habitat Lighting Controller for Reptiles

Does not keep the right temp at all!! I turn it up or down 1 degree and it goes up to 94 or back down to 80... will not even stay at a happy medium. It’s crap

This is a great product to keep temperatures stable. Pros The thermostat has a dial you can turn to set the desired temp. Which is very user friendly. The probe is attached to a very long cord making it easy to nove around the tank. It comes with a suction cup to hold it in place. (Although I lost mine now) 2 lights are shown one to indicate when the heat source is turned on and one to show power is being supplied. Hook comes with it so it can be hung Cons The probe is a bit bulky gets in the way Temperatures can be really off and sometimes 5 degrees off. Its a matter of probe placement. The plactic isn't very.... "Strong" mine got a huge scratch in it from who knows what. And in a matter This is a great product to keep temperatures stable.

If the animal gets waste/feces/urine on the probe part. It messes up the reading by 5-8 degrees. (I found putting the probe on the inside of the cage gives better and more accurate readings, plus thats where the animal is) Snakes move it around alot or any animal (I have 2 of these) 1 suction cup works fine but the other one doesn't. It will stick for 5 minutes then pop off. I've tried wetting it cleaning it nothing works. I am writing this after using this product for almost half a year so far. And I'm happy it at least keeps it in a close ball park area so the animal is safe. This was my first thermostat but I suggest a herpstat or a well made reptile stat for the big enthusiest. With many animals. Its worth the investment. This tool is for the beginner just learning with not many animals. … more

Used this item for 3 days and it was working great.....then it just quit...could find nothing wrong with it ....it just quit working....very discouraged ....what a waste of money!!! Hadn't thought to write a review until now.....Still use Chewy for lots of pet needs and they have been Great....but this item was a total waste of time and money!!

Used it to control the heat lamp for my last litter of puppies. It worked great, I had a secondary thermometer in the whelping box and it showed that the controller was spot on. Highly recommend this product.

Seems to work well. Sorry that it is not digital however.

I noticed my heating pad was reaching temperatures of 111 F. Waaay too hot for leopard geckos since they lay directly on it. This thermostat is straightforward with a dial. It's set to the appropriate temp and the red light indicates when the UTH is running.

Easy to put together, but the probe should never placed inside the tank. If the pet defecates, pees or moves the probe, there will be inacurrate readings. It should be taped on the heat mat outside the tank. Use a digital thermometer with a probe or infrared gun to confirm correct readings inside the tank. Even placing the probe on the wall can cause inaccurate readings as heat mats do NOT create ambient temp... So unless the probe is touching the floor of the tank, it will not work the way it should! I bought a 500 watts for my corn snake and another one for my ball python. I would not use it for overhead lights, I do not use it for my skink who basks for heat.

I have 4 leopard geckos and they are all in separate 20 gallon tanks . I bought FOUR of these , one for each tank. So far they are working perfectly . It gives me peace of mind that the thermostat will trip the heat mat if it ever overheats . I do not want to treat something that could be easily prevented like a burned belly on a leopard gecko! We are two months in and I'm impressed so far . They all click on and off to keep the heat mats at what they need to be . All of my leopard geckos are spending much more time in their warm side now that it isn't too hot and it stays at the proper temp. Excellent safety net that I believe all reptile / amphibian owners need to have ! <3

OK so first off the item , zilla controller is awesome it was exactly what I needed works perfectly and came super fast, but this company let me tell ya THEY ARE AMAZING! order confirmation/shipment confirmation came super fast and accurate. FedEx had an issue finding my house and chewy was tracking my order so closely that they contacted me before fedex. Followed up with an additional email and a personal phone call and the cutest postcard to make sure I got my order and was 100% satisfied best customer service out there :)

Doesn’t exactly what it says I just wish you could see the settings better
