Thermostat for 2 or more habitats?

[ebartolome]

Are there any thermostats that can control 2 separate habitats? I have 2 separate tanks using Alife thermostats, but want to upgrade to a proportional type control. Is buying 2 separate thermostats the only option? They're different size tanks, so I don't think 1 thermostat can effectively control the temperature in both tanks.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

We love these Johnson thermostats. They're rated for 1500 Watts so you could run two tanks on it. I'm not sure how much of a temperature difference there would be between 2 different sized UTHs though. Maybe someone else has experience with that. You might end up having to try it and if it doesn't work buy another thermostat.

Your better off either getting 2 tanks of the same size with the same type substrate or 2 different thermostats. The temp in a small tank could be good but then the larger will be under heated, vice verse. Imagine heating a 1 foot cube cage and a 2 foot cube cage with the same heat source, which will heat up faster. For my snakes I have a few different sized cages and only the same type cages are on the same thermostat. ie:1 herpstat on the vison 111's and a second herpstat on the vision 222's run sperate. Even with different sized heating pads, it will be difficult to maintain the proper temps for both cages. Take your time and do the cages up properly, both you and your geckos will be happier.
