Hi Marg,
Its not a good plan.

For many reasons, but here's one: you can only put the probe in one viv, if the spot blows in that viv, the stat will keep trying to increase the heat in both vivs, as the temp falls, and could BBQ your reptiles in the viv that the heater still works in.

Best get another stat.

Cheers

Ty

Thanks Ty, wont be trying that then, i did do it for the leopard gecko's when i had 3 vivs, i used one mat-stat for 2 of them but this 1 is a dimmer stat, so didn't know if it would be the same.

Got to be carefull with stats, after all they are there to safely control your temps, if they are controling more than one environment, but only reading from one, its liable to be an issue Marg.
