    T-Stat Question
    Alright, so I'm new to the whole thermostat thing..
    I have a Johnsons and it seems to work fine now. HOWEVER.

    It doesn't seem to warm up other flexwatt that I plugged in. (so now there are 2 instead of one hooked up..)
    I'm wondering if this is a probe thing, cause I have the probe linked to the already warmed up flexwatt and don't want to remove the probe and let the others warm up as I am fearful of baking the snake inside! D:

    Will they warm up overnight or do I have to let the old one cool and have them warm up together?
    I'm assuming because the probe is on the warm one it's not emitting enough heat to the new ones (because it thinks it doesn't have to?) am I right? Will it catch up?

    Thanks!

    They'll catch up eventually. There'll probably be a slight difference in temps, tho, especially if the other FW isn't exactly the same length and type as the probed piece. You'll just want to tweak things until you have desirable temps in both enclosures.

    Hmm, are these two enclosures in a rack or separate individual cages? If they're on their own, try to get them at the same level height wise to keep the temps as close as possible.

    They are two tubs. (I don't have a rack system for them.
    I noticed they are slowly getting warmer. I think it'll be warm enough. Corn snakes aren't as picky about heat as bps. :]
