Vivarium Electronics Thermostat Series - Precision Control for Every Setup
Reptiles have unique thermal needs based on their species, behavior, and enclosure - and the Vivarium Electronics Thermostat Series is designed to meet them all. Whether you’re running a simple terrestrial setup or managing a full rack system, these thermostats provide the control and reliability needed for safe, consistent heating. From heat mats and ceramic emitters to radiant heat panels and heat tape, there’s a model built to match your equipment and your animal’s environment.
The Vivarium Electronics Thermostat Series delivers reliable, accurate control with safety-first features, flexible settings, and user-friendly designs. Choose from multiple models to match your setup, heating elements, and level of experience—from simple on/off control to dual-zone precision management.
VE-300X2: Dual-Zone Precision for Multi-Enclosure Setups
The VE-300X2 takes the advanced control of the VE-300 and expands it into a dual-zone format, allowing you to run two independent heating zones from one thermostat. With separate high/low alarms, independent night drop capability for each zone, a back-lit display, battery backup for the clock, safety shutoff protection, and 900 watts total capacity, it’s an excellent choice for rack systems, cage stacks, or any setup where different shelves or enclosures need individualized heat control from one unit. It also retains settings during power failure and is designed for easy tabletop placement with user-replaceable probes and fuse. It is recommended for heat tape, cable, under-tank heaters, radiant heat applications, and other non-light-emitting heat sources; it is not recommended for incandescent light bulbs.
