Rheostat Malfunction? Yikes!

[Lolo76]

When I got home tonight, I realized two things... first, the "rheostat" which malfunctioned was actually a thermostat, as it did allow me to dial in a specific temperature. But it was one of those cheap models (ZooMed?) and around 4-5 years old, so I guess it just reached the end of its life.

The other thing I realized was that the thermostat which controls another rack is a Herpstat, probably the base model and about 5 years old. It hasn't failed me yet, however, and always holds temps very reliably. So I hooked up one of the heat strips from the other rack (which had the malfunction), and it's measuring a steady 95F directly on the tape now.

I don't know the model name/number of that Herpstat, but will post a picture below. Do you think it could handle controlling two racks for a while? The one it controls now is a 4-tub 40qt Boaphile with one cord attached to all heat strips, and the other rack has 5 shelves with 5 separate cords for the strips. I'd have to get creative with the extension cords, but that's worked fine in the past (with a functioning thermostat). At least it could be a temporary solution, as I wasn't able to find anything decent at the pet shop.

Here's that Herpstat:
