Hi, you have my sympathies - thermostats don't seem to come with the clearest of instructions.
I'm afraid I have no experience of this one but try googling it - last year there was a debate on another forum about it and you may pick up some tips - also the manufacturer may provide more info online.
All the best! |

Buy a dimming stat'for the bulb and use it 24/7 would be my advice, ditching the heat mat.
Otherwise you'll need two thermostats, one for the heatmat and one for the bulb. |

Aye, this.
It amazes me how many people are led to believe (by some shops and by a lot of websites in the states) that they need a heat mat and a bulb for their snake...
