    Multiple cages thermostat
    I have 3 cages with snakes and is there a thermostat that I can get to control all 3?

    If you want independent control of 3 cages the only way to go is the Herpstat 4.

    I use these exclusively and love them. It is like having 4 independent thermostats in a single box.

    Almost any thermostat out there will control multiple heat sources, but if you are talking about independent control - ie cage 1 at 90, cage 2 at 84 etc. - then as mentioned you would need a Herpstat 4.

    Otherwise, you can use almost any t-stat. I recommend the Johnson or Ranco at the lower end and the Herpstats at the higher. I've used both for many years and they're great. :)

    As long as they are all identical (heat source/cage/substrate) and you understand the risk involved.
