    Thermostat for UTH?
    I have a ZooMed Under the Tank Heater. Haven't gotten my snake yet, so I'm still preparing. Do I need a thermostat for a ZooMed under the tank heater, or do they come with thermostats?

    Yes, you need a stat, and they probably don't have them at your local Petsmart. One highly-recommended (and cheaper) option is the Hydrofarm on Amazon. Other options include Johnson, Ranco, and Herpstats (Spyderrobotics.com), but these are more expensive.

    If you have two IDENTICAL setups and UTHs, it could work for both, but you will need a splitter/power strip, because I believe it only has one plug spot.

    Yes, just make sure you don't exceed the total wattage limit of the thermostat.

    He's asking if the thermostat (Hydrofarm) is food for one or more UTHs.
    He added an extra word in there...So it made it confusing

    Okay, haha. Thanks. I was like, 'uhmmm... Is this some term I'm not familiar with?'

    Would a place like Petco/Petsmart/Walmart sell a thermostat that works, or should I try to find somewhere else?
