Ah, I was assuming you meant dimmer stats for infra red/ceramic heating in vivs. Yes, if you are using heat mats/strips under *vivs* AAAH meant RUBS!!, you can run two from the same stat, as long as they are identically powered.

EDIT - spot the deliberate mistake! A heat mat can't be used underneath a viv - it could overheat (thermal blocking again) and cause a fire. Sorry about that. It was late at night ...

Maybe i read it wrong as well bats. mmm. Well it can be done with bulbs and there are those that do but it's not something that i would advise. I know there are dangers with multiple heat mats on on stat but i think bulbs are far more dangerous. for instance if the bulb in the viv with the thermostat probe blows the other viv is just going to keep heating up as there would be nothing to sense it had reach the correct temp. With a heat map it only covering a 1/3rd of the floor space but a bulb is heating the whole viv giving snakey no where to escape. just something to think about.
