    Question Poll: Thermostats for multiple tubs

    I'm getting 2 new snakes in a week or so and will be QT'ing them in tubs. I'm pretty sure I want to use a herpstat, but herein lies the question. I'll most likely use this t'stat for a rack when I get one and would rather have as few t'stats as possible. So would I be better off getting 1 regular herpstat if the tubs I'm heating are the same size with the same size flexwatt in the same shelf of a shelving unit or a herpstat II?

    You can use one thermostat for both tubs, so long as they are set up heat tape wise exactly the same. ( no other electrical heating devices added)

    The single T-stat will work for your application, but since we all know Ball Pythons are addictive you may be better off getting a Herpstat Pro which is a 4 T-stat in one package with all the features you will ever need. With this you could power 4 different size racks or 4 differently set up enclosures.

    Or get the Herpstat II that can power two different sources

    already ordered the regular ole herpstat. I thought about getting a Hstat 2, but jus really didn't want to spend the extra $110 right before I go to Tampa for the Outback bowl if the cheaper(if $109 can be considered cheap). I definitely couldn't front for a herpstat pro...way too expensive for a college student!
