Well, there are a bunch of reptile ones, but I find household timers to be more sturdy and reliant. I know that ZooMed makes a green one, but it has iffy reviews, so I would go with a household one.

Household timers all the way. Specialized timers for animals cost an arm and a leg for some fancy packaging compared to something that can cost less than half the price and do the same job.

Reccomend sticking with the regular household, particularly the analog ones - the ones with a dial - since for me personally, its less likely to stuff up.
