I was looking very closely as I think I may go down this route in the future to fit more vivs in and it looks excellent.
Royals don't need the height that my cunrrent vivs provide, so if I make my own I can reduce the height and fit more into the same floor space. |

| I reckon I could still use bulbs if they were still 1' high, but it is a concern, yes. Will obviously have to experiment when the time comes. |

| are the two mats running from the stat to an extension lead? it might be that the stat that is plugged in first is getting just that extra bit of power.? i suppose the way it is all wired up you can't really try putting the probe on the other mat to see what temps you get? |
