Default Snake 2 stack viv heating?

I want to try to save as many plug sockets as possible...
I've got a 2 stack viv for my corns..
IS there any way i can have both vivs heated up with one thermostat?
like is there some sort of multi heat mat ?haha
both vivs are the same size..
Or is there a twin thermostat thing?

think you can connect to heat mats to one stat. Or you could put one heat mat along the back of both.

You can buy a twin thermostat, its a normal on/off one so it will work prefectly with heatmats. Anywhere that has habistats should have the twin stats, they look like this:

double stats would be the best way to go trice, is what i use with my boas, that way you have full control of both vivs otherwise the top would one would be hotter than the bottom one and difficult to keep both of them at the same temps if theres only one probe!

on my twin stats i run 3 mats, the mats on the floor are joined together via a double socket and then into the unit for each viv in my stack, as long as the wattage of the mats does not go over what the stat can deliver you wont have a problem
