Vivarium Electronics VE200 Proportional Thermostat

Reptiles have unique thermal needs based on species, behavior, and enclosure style - and the VE-200 from Vivarium Electronics steps up from basic on/off control with pulse and dimming modes, giving you the right output style for a wider range of heating elements. From heat mats and ceramic emitters to radiant heat panels, it delivers the steady, accurate control your setup calls for.

Best For

✅ Keepers who want smoother, more precise temperature control than simple on/off cycling

✅ Radiant heat panels, heat tape, heat mats, Deep Heat Projectors, and Ceramic Heat Emitters

✅ Species sensitive to temperature swings, and setups where heat source flexibility matters

Key Features

🎛️ Three Control Modes – Pulse, dim, and on/off operation to match your heat source and your animal's needs.

🔥 Broad Heat Source Compatibility – Runs heat mats, Ceramic Heat Emitters, radiant heat panels, and more.

📈 Smoother Temperature Curves – Pulse and dim modes minimize the swings of simple on/off cycling for more stable temps.

🌙 Night Drop Capable – Supports lower overnight temperatures to mimic natural day/night cycles.

🚨 Safety Shutoff Built In – Automatic protection against overheating for round-the-clock peace of mind.

🔌 700W Capacity – Plenty of headroom for single- and multi-enclosure heating setups.

Excellent thermostat

I’ve had this thermostat running on my juvenile rack with heat cord for three days now. It has kept a stable temperature across 16 buns with no issues. Has great functionality, e.g., night drop, pulse, alarm etc. Definitely an economical choice versus some of the higher end thermostats out there.

This is my first time getting one of these. I decided to set up a new vivarium for my bearded dragon and use one of these. This has been pretty great so far. the set up was really easy and has been keeping a consistent temp inside.

Solid, Easy to Use Thermostat

I have 4 of the VE-200 Model Thermostats. 2 of them I have had running for 6 years keeping my Green Tree Pythons cages stable. They are still running with no issues. Power outages will not reset your set temperatures. These are solid, easy to use units and the reason I purchased 2 more for a couple new GTPs coming in. On top of that, ReptiChip has fast shipping. I can definitely recommend the VE-200 Thermostat and purchasing from ReptiChip!
