Zoo Med Repticare Terrarium Controller, 8 Outlets with 24-Hour Programmable Timer

The Zoo Med Repticare Terrarium Controller combines a programmable timer and power strip to manage terrarium lighting, with a 24-hour timer and eight outlets.

• 24-hour programmable timer — set a daily lighting schedule for your reptile’s day/night cycle.
• Eight outlets in one controller — connect terrarium equipment at a single power strip.
• Four timer-controlled outlets — use these connections for equipment you want on the programmed schedule.
• Four continuous-power outlets — keep connected equipment outside the timed outlet group.
• Analog programming and grounded outlets — use the straightforward timer design and grounded connections.

Terrarium lighting needs a schedule that can repeat across the day and night, while some connected equipment may need continuous power instead. This controller brings both outlet types together, so you can choose which equipment follows the lighting timer and which uses the always-on connections. It is made for reptile terrariums where a programmed lighting cycle is part of the setup.

How does the Repticare Terrarium Controller manage lighting?

Its programmable timer provides a 24-hour schedule for terrarium lighting, designed to create a natural day/night cycle for your reptile. The analog timer lets you set the schedule on the controller, while the timed outlets follow that programming. This gives scheduled lighting a dedicated outlet group rather than placing every connected item on the same timed circuit.

• Designed for recurring daily lighting schedules.
• Timer programming uses an analog design.
• The day/night cycle is intended for reptile terrariums.

What can I plug into the controller?

The controller has eight outlets: four follow the timer and four provide continuous power. This arrangement lets you separate equipment that should follow the lighting schedule from equipment that should remain on continuously. The outlets are grounded, and the unit has a grounded three-prong receptacle.

• Four outlets are controlled by the timer.
• Four outlets supply continuous power.
• Grounded connections are part of the controller’s outlet design.

Is the timer easy to program?

Zoo Med uses an easy-to-program analog timer design. It is intended for setting a lighting schedule directly through the controller, without relying on a digital timer interface. The timed outlet group provides the connection point for equipment assigned to that schedule.

• Analog timer format.
• Programmable for a 24-hour cycle.

The Repticare Terrarium Controller suits reptile keepers who want one power strip for both scheduled lighting and continuously powered equipment. Its two outlet groups let you assign connections according to whether they should follow the timer, while the programmable daily cycle supports a consistent terrarium lighting routine. It combines a 24-hour analog timer with grounded, timer-controlled and continuous-power outlets.
