I ordered heat tape a while ago and got individual sections cut and wired for each snake I had, because at that point I was expected individual enclosures. Since I've decided to do a rack system for most of them, I don't want to have to purchase individual thermostats for each piece. I had a thought though. Would I be able to plug the separate pieces into a power strip, and then plug the power strip into the thermostat? I imagine that so long as I stay within the wattage limit of the t-stat and monitor the temps carefully I should be ok but I wanted to know if anyone had tried it before.
