I have a microclimate heat mat stat controlling my corns heat mat and when I get my 2nd snake I was going to use that for the 2 heat mats but how will the stat control the temp of the 2nd mat if the probe is on the other mat? Or would I just be better buying another stat for the heat mat?
Thanks :) |

I have a digital gecko thermostat and have been told it is the same as a thermo-control here is a link for the instructions (if its worked)

Its really easy to use once you have set it up the first time and extremely accurate. |

if it's something like a thermo-control 2 or similar you might find the instructions online, try the manufacturers website or google |

If you have everything there, test it. Set it all up and monitor the temps. Might be ok. |

Just use digital thermometers for each tub and if the heatmats are identcal size and wattage you will find they both stay at roughly the same temps.
I have many mats on my stats, and although its not recommended, I have different size mats and tubs, all keep very close temps.
Just remember in the rare instance that the mat with the stat on fails and goes cold, the other mat will keep heating up! |

You just kinda, adjust them until both mats read the same, through use of digital thermometers :) |
