    Thermostat with multiple probes/sockets to run multiple heat mats??
    I'm sure I've seen them before??? But can't seem to find them now
    Im wanting to get a rack at some point soon & I know everyone suggests heat tape, but I don't really want to be messing round with live wires n setting them up etc & I like in the UK & we don't have FlexWatt here
    I also don't really wanna mess around with heat cable either, idk it looks dumb
    I know you can run multiple heat mats on one thermostat but I'm worried if one of the mats developed a fault etc

    If you have that many problems with trying to provide proper husbandry then you will probably be better off heating the whole room.

    Unless you go heat cable route then the only other option is multiple stats for multiple mats I think. How many vivs are you looking to heat at once?

    Habistat and microclimate have thermostat that you can run 2 devices on. You would still need 3 of them but that's better then buying 6 of them. If I remember I think there on/off style though.

    He lives in the UK which takes 220v. I have the herpstat 6 and it says 120VAC right on it.

    Your welcome. The only reason I knew was bc I was looking at UK thermostats to buy but they wouldn't support are 110V electricity so I ended up buying a herpstat 6. I'm glad I could help though!
