    Seeking thermostat advice.

    I currently have 3 ball pythons in the same room and I am using 2 of those iPower thermostats off of amazon for two of them and nothing for the third (not even a hot spot) as I got her 3 days ago. What thermostat should I invest in to use for all 3 at the same time and the two cutches that my two females could make in the near future? Also, should I grab another Zoo med UTH for my third ball python (currently $8 cheaper on amazon vs Big Al's)? Or Should I go for heat tape? I am in Canada, land of the free by the way.

    When it comes to thermostats for multiple outputs, then your best investments quality-wise are probably the Herpstat thermostats from Spyder Robotics, which are numbered based on the number of outputs they can accommodate - 1, 2, 4, and up to 6. This works for whether you're managing individual heat pads for each enclosure right now, or if you're eventually planning to work with a rack system and heat tape once you've got clutches of hatchlings to house too.

    I agree with the other replies before me, herpstat is the way to go. I use two of the herpstat myself. A 4 and a 2. Well worth the investment

    Do they come with 2 or 4 probes or do you have to buy these alone?

    They come with the right number of probes to match the number of outputs. So my Herpstat 2 Redline came with 2 probes.
