dumb question....
Here,s the deal, I'm adding a whole string of large cages for some carpets growing up. 12 to be exact. Can I use 1 herpstat four to control all of the cages or will it overload? Similarly, can 1 herpstat control more racks then it's supposed to if they all need the same temp? .... excuse my ignorance......

The risk you runs is temp variance. Say you've got 4 probes and you need to control 12 tanks. Well only one of the tanks gets the probe so the Thermostat thinks everything is good to go. But the other two tanks are cooler or even hotter than the one with the probe because they aren't in the same enviroment that the first one is.. just be carefull..
When you've got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001? ~ Mark Cuban "for the discerning collector"

Just my opinion if you spending a lot of money for cages and I think you mentions racks why don't you just invest in good thermostats also. I believe it would be worth it with a collection that large.

I meant like 2 more herpstat 4s to cover all your cages. Even if he can't cant get them all at once. It would be better to try to get 1 enclosure 1 probe.

Depends on your room, i use one stat for 4, cages, temp varies about 3 degrees top to bottom last time I checked, well within a tolerable range. Just test it out before you put animals in there, but in my experience, you should be fine.

Re: dumb question....
When it comes to your snakes, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.
