What we liked

  • + Water resistant probe handles humid enclosures and damp substrate
  • + 6 Foot cord gives room to route the controller outside the tank
  • + Simple on/off control is well matched to heat mats and cables

Trade-offs

  • - Built for seedling mats, so it lacks dimming for heat lamps
  • - No night drop or timer features compared with reptile-specific units
