I am considering going the seperately wired route for 2 reasons mainly:

1. Unnocupied shelves - don't see a need to power several empty shelves as I expand my collection.
2. Versatility - able to run shelves at different temps using herpstat (ie: different species, incubator, etc)

Thanks for the input, I'll reaching out to AP soon to see if they can help.
Any other companies out there with quicker shipping? I could pick up from any upcoming White Plains expos
