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
