Herpstat, oh herpstat!

That is the name around here they are marionettes I knew that was a regional thing but I just couldn't remember what they were down south.

Thanks a ton you guys. :] This is exactly what I needed to know! I'll let everyone know how it works once I've got it all set up. Woohoo!

With six enclosures of the same size and the same type of heat mat, you need a herpstat with one output. You just plug all of the heat mats into the same thermostat output. If the heat mats were different, or the enclosure sizes different, you would need a herpstat with multiple enclosures. Also if you ever do go with a herpstat pro, you can use one output to control your lighting. This is a nice feature if you have an unused output. You can set it to turn off / on the lights completely or moonlight effect.
