Since I have 5 bigger balls and 3 07' babies Ill use the other 2 probes for a hot side cool side in the smaller tubs... do i make any sense? haha
Make sure you seal the connections VERY well with silicone. I would also seal the edge of the vinyl with silicone, too so that you have a double layer of protection in case water spills so you don't electrocute the snake (or maybe yourself).

Depending on the size of the vivs and tubs, you may not need to heat the cool side. I get good gradient and ambient temps just heating the warm side. If you do this you can free up a couple of probes to run an incubator, more racks/cages, whatever. I'd set up the warm side and run it for a few days to see first. Then you can always add it if needed.

Oh, and I have the herpstat pro, too. You'll love it!
