Also I believe heat strips can be cut to size, so one at the bottom, one at the top and the rest in the middle, is that possible, or unnecessary?
You can set heat tape up many different ways.

If it is one long piece only one tstat can be used.

If you have a piece for each level then each will need a tstat.

In my opinion a small difference on each level is fine. If my "hotspot" is between 83-86 I am happy. Hardly any of my snakes use their hotspot and being so I turned many of them off and will only use them during colder months...if then. None of my hotspots are set higher than 85 or to a temp that gives a 85 degree hotspot.
