Question about heating, heat mats and thermostats! A little input please!

[Saskia]

Thanks in advance for reading!

I keep 12 geckos right now, all of them have heat mats, and I am looking forward to putting all of them in thermostats, but they are not sold where I live, so, I have to buy them on amazon, and our currency is so poor (compared to the american dollar) that each thermostat would cost me half a monthly income right now, so, buying 12 of them out of the question, however, I was thinking if I could make a combination, with theese 2 products:


Amazon.com: Hydrofarm MTPRTC Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats: Patio, Lawn & Garden

PLUS:

Regleta Omega 6 Tomas Con Protector - BsF 56,00 en MercadoLibre

In order to have one thermostat work with 6 mats, set at the same temps... ????

Is this possible?? Or does anyone know about a multiple plug thermostat that could work with several heat mats at the same time??

Thanks

There are several thermostats that can be wired to run multiple heating sources. The key is wattage and having your temp probes place right.

You are going to need a thermostat that can handle the wattage of all those heat pads together. The thermostat I use (Spyder Robotics, Herpstat) I have controlling several lengths of heat tape.
