on the subject of stats, Habistat twin stats are just basic on/off stats............. and are often more expensive than buying 2 separate matstats. Matt at T-pets (ex Snakes n Adders, Leeds) enlightened me so i decided i'd rather have 2 pulse stats than a twin stat.
it is possible to have several vivs running off one stat, that's why some stats are suitable for up to 600W, but it's a careful balancing act! there's lots of things to consider such as which viv to put the probe in to get the temps right, how thin/thick to have the substrate to help get the desired temp (if renning heatmats)......... etc |

pfft! don't be daft, it's for Marilyn
Queenie has to slum it on a heatmat until i get the ceramic and dimmer rigged up! 
he's still only quite small so a mat is still adequate heating for him. |
