    Helix Question
    I'm super excited because I have my first Helix on the way. I was reading through everything on Reptile Basics, but I'm not entirely sure how it hooks up to the flexwatt. I have my flexwatt plugged into a cheap thermostat-with a wall plug, but with eggs on the way (crosses fingers) I wanted a proportional thermostat rather than the cheaper on/off thermostat. So my question is, does my flexwatt plug right into the helix or how does that work? Also, can I back up the Helix with a dimmer or will that affect how the proportional thing works? I don't run anything without a back up dimmer, and I'm hoping it won't affect the Helix. I know I have to set it a bit higher than the Helix so it can run properly.

    The Helix will come with two chords coming from in. One to plug into your wall and one that has three slots for UTH/Flexwatt.

    Sweet thank you! I was hoping it would be that easy!
