To ThyTempest: if you know, say, that you're only going to need 3 levels for corns and 3 levels for balls then you could either zig zag or daisy chain those 3 levels together which would be easier than doing each strip individually.
This is what I was thinking originally. I don't understand the whole zig-zag, one piece idea though...I will be using belly heat so I dont see how this is possible. The daisy chain is what I was imagining. Basically, I am thinking....

hypothetical 4 x 6high rack. Lets say that I want the top four racks for bps, bottom two for corns or boas. This wouldnt work b/c there would be different total wattages for each section if I wired the 4 together to 1 plug, and the other 2 together to a separate plug. By this, I mean after I split the species up and want to use the whole rack for bp's or whatever, all on one temp. For this reason, if I didnt want to split them evenly when multiple species are in the same rack, I was thinking of just rewiring the flexwatt all back together into one plug for when the rack goes back to one species. This way, all one temp, can split the rack whatever way I want beforehand, and only takes one power outlet so the powerstrip could be eliminated if I wanted to.

I think my hypothetical situation got so convoluted that I may just have to start over from scratch.
