I have a 30 gal breeder with a large UTH for the hot side connected to http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=75 .
I've been using a red bulb constantly to help keep the cool side warm enough, but I'm tired of the air being dried out.

Since the thermostat has two places for plugs...what would happen if I plugged in a smaller uth for the cool side as well? Would it attempt to make the small one heat as high as the large one (90s), or would it back off the wattage used, say, 15% or whatever, like it does for the large one...making the temp 15% less than max (hoping for that 80s range)??

Am I even close to the concept of what the thermostat is doing??

In other words, do I need to buy another thermostat for a second mat? (And yes, I know, buy something better..but I just don't have a few hundred to toss down right now.)


Thanks
