same place to live?

ok so im thinking of building a rack, could a ball python and leopard gecko live in the same rack like not same tubs but same rack?

Yes, you will just have to make sure the requirements are met for each animal in their tub

will i have to buy 2 theremostats or can they be both?

Depends on the temps required by a leopard gecko compared to a bp. Check out the caresheet, I'm sure there is one floating around.

i did i just want to make sure

I do not see why not as long as each tub is at the right enviroment for each reptile..... That is my newbie thought on it.

I don't think the requirements for geckos and ball pythons are really all that similair.
I am pretty sure the temps are much different.. I am no gecko expert though.

If you want to put them both in a rack, by all means go for it but you will most likely need two thermostats.

Or a dimmer on the heating element for the geckos, turned down. So when it's plugged into the same tstat as the bp tub, it will only give out so much heat. That's what I did for my second UTH on my tank.

Sure why not? Go for it(:

You can keep leos with a warm spot up to around 88f so that's on the low end for a bp's warm spot. You could see how the temps vary from the tub at the bottom vs. the tups near the top of the rack. The lower ones may be in the temp range you are looking for.

I don't understand why you can't just make 2 small racks instead of 1 large one?

its the room in the house :tears: only enough for 1 rack, my parent dont want to see them in the house and my room is small, i have 2 dimmers

You would be using flexwatt heat tape for a rack (more than likely) so I would recommend using a better tsat than just dimmers. Flexwatt can get very hot if not controlled properly. You can also build 2 small (3 level) racks and stack them. That would allow for 2 heat sources and 2 different hot spots.
