This is my first time on this forum so let me say HELLO! I am learned a lot from just reading about BP's here. I bought my first BP (normal) last weekend and I am already looking for another. As usual I went and bought the wrong type of stuff for my BP. I should have read all the info provided on the website before hand. Please don't flame me for that. The biggest mistake I made was buying a 40 gallon tank with a SCREEN TOP (humidity problems). I am working to fix that.

I am looking into getting a thermostat to control my heat pad and lamp. I am looking into the Vivarium models. It says that the 200D is specifically designed for lamps.

Here are my questions:
Can it control my lamp AND my heat pad at the same time?

I assume I would hook up my pad and lamp to a electrical strip and then plug the strip into the thermostat? Is that correct? Thermostat only has one plug.

Where should I mount the sensor?

Any help and/or advice would be appreciated. I am not willing to change the enclosure as of yet but I probably will down the road for more BP's
