Flexwatt breeding rack question

Ok this may be the wrong forum but here goes... I'm building a breeding rack and a hatchling rack and I'll be heating them with flexwatt for belly heat. My question is this, can I wire the separate strips of flexwatt from level to level together and then have only one plug for several levels instead of a plug per level? If I make it ten levels high I would really like to cut down on the clutter and have one or two plugs rather than ten. My thought is I would wire them together with a short jumper wire between levels. Has anyone done this? Thanks guys!

Posted this in BP Husbandry but not gettin any responses so I'll try here.

Yes it can be done.

Reptile Basics will assemble your flexwatt for you at no additional charges http://www.reptilebasics.com/

Or you can do it yourself http://www.beanfarm.com/heating/Flexwatt_parallel.pdf

And both posts were merged ;)

you could do this i would just wire all the breader tubs together and all the hatchling tubs together...make sure you have 2 seperate t-stats or multipule temp probes like a herpastat 2 or pro...the hatchling tubs wont need as much heat as a breader tub so the flexwatt will be smaller and cannot be ran off of the same t-stat or wired together with the larger flexwatt...also make sure the total wattage dont exceed what you t-stat can do
