Helix DBS 1000- Timer/Nightdrop
I have the Helix DBS 1000. I have the UTH and a 75watt heat bulb/lamp plugged into it.
I'm maintaining the proper temps for my Male Arab Albino.
I have the night drop cord but never used it, at night I manually turn the lamp off so the temps go down and the snake isn't sitting in 24 hour light going crazy, stressed etc. temps drop etc...
I'm going out of town for 2 days and I want to take my electronic timer (wal-mart) and utilize it with the heat lamp so it will shut off automatically at night.
Can i just plug the timer into the helix and then the lamp obviously into the timer with the correct on and off times? will this work, I mean is this what others do?
Secondly the night drop mentioned something about an electronic timer. DO i need a seperate timer for that cord that runs from the Helix to the wall? If I choose to even use the night drop.
Thanks,
Jeff
