All advice taken on board. I have decided now to keep them separate, which brings more questions.

If I buy two 6l locking boxes from Tesco or wherever, could I use a single heat mat to heat both boxes sat side by side.

The mat and stat I am looking at on amazon is the, lucky reptile thermo control 2 and the euro rep habistat 7w 6x11. Does anyone rate these products or could you recommend anything better.
I don't mind spending a little but as I'm going to have to buy double everything now the cheaper better.

Thanks again.
