If you are a reptile owner or breeder, you know that maintaining the ideal photoperiod in your terrarium is critical for the wellbeing of your pet. Reptiles need the right amount of light for immune function, reproduction and hormone regulation. Having to remember exactly when to switch the terrarium lamp on or off can be tedious, but Zoo Med ReptiCare Day & Night Timer helps provide a day/night cycle for reptiles without the hassle. It automatically turns the daytime lamp on in the morning and off at night. Programmable tabs let you activate precise hours of operation so you can tailor the photoperiod for specific breeds. The daytime and nighttime functions are connected to two separate outlets on the device so it takes the guesswork out of managing the timer. Once you set your desired time of operation, simply plug in the timer and you're good to go.
