[QUOTE="ameliasark, post: 2546078, member: 52110"] Hi all, I have what I consider to be a decent collection of 9 reptiles (probably not really a lot considering the awesome collections a lot of people on here have but for me and what I can responsibly house/afford at the moment this is a lot lol) - I house 8 out of 9 of my animals in one room with one double power outlet. All heaters/lights for each enclosure feed off separate thermostats plugged into 2 power boards/extension cords. It's important to me to have everyone on a thermostat since I am out most of the day and cannot reliably stay on top of temps without them. Anyway to get to the point all of these thermostats plugged into powerboards plugged into extension cords make me uncomfortable, although I'm cautious not to exceed the voltage rating of my outlets and have surge protectors installed I was raised in a very fire-safe household and my ex-firefighter dad would freak if he saw my current set up haha. Just wondering how people with larger collections monitor the temps for all their setups. Do you do it manually with a temp gun? only have thermostats on certain animals? Or does anyone know of a thermostat with multiple outlets that could connect to more than one hotspot? cheers in advance for any tips (: [/QUOTE]
