Hugely impressed with The Hub and how they support the community. Lovely people all round. Made to feel so welcome and can’t wait to go back next month. Thanks to Ken for inviting us.

🎛️ Thermostats available in store at Phelsuma Farm.

We have the three different types of thermostat: mat stats, pulse stats and dimming stats.

Quality brands only, including Habistat, Microclimate, ProRep and ReptiZoo.

Come and see us in store to pick up these essential bits of kit for keeping reptiles safe from overheating. Full guidance given in store on setting it up in your reptile enclosure.

Thermostats also save you money on electric by automatically keeping heating at the set temperature, so energy isn’t wasted running longer than needed.

Please note, we don’t sell or recommend cheap, untested thermostats that pop up on big online retail sites, which often fail when you most need it to work.

⚠️ THERMOMETERS & THERMOSTATS ARE NOT THE SAME ⚠️

One of the most common things we hear from customers is:
“Yes, I have a thermostat.”

But after a little more discussion, it turns out they actually mean they have a thermometer.

A thermometer ONLY measures temperature.
A thermostat CONTROLS temperature.

This is a very important difference in reptile keeping.

Without a thermostat, heat sources such as heat mats, ceramic heaters and basking bulbs can continue heating uncontrollably.
This can lead to:
❌ Dangerous overheating
❌ Severe dehydration
❌ Burns
❌ Heat stress
❌ Death

A thermometer tells you what the temperature IS.
A thermostat helps prevent it becoming unsafe in the first place.

Every heated reptile enclosure should have:
✅ A suitable thermostat controlling the heat source
✅ Reliable thermometers checking temperatures at both warm and cool ends

Especially during hot weather, thermostats are essential for keeping temperatures stable and safe.

Please make sure you know the difference — it could save your reptile’s life 🦎
