I run a light & heat mat for the same viv on a dimmer for 2 of my vivs but I dont think I'd do it for seperate ones as only one probe.
Don't you find the two conflict at all? E.g. if the probe is too close to the mat the light doesn't come on, too far away from the mat (too close to the light) and the mat doesn't heat up?
No seems to work fine, obviously i keep a close eye on temps etc but the light seems to stay half on and so does the mat, I have temp probe directly on the mat with an alarm that goes off if its too high (it never does) just as a precuation.
