    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am new to Boaphile cages and I am planning on getting some 421D's in the coming months and I have some questions. I want to get the heat panel installed rather then the heat tape and Ill also order the thermostat (Ranco) with it as well.

Now to the questions.

First, could a single Ranco be enough for more than 2 cages?
Second, how to you install the Ranco into the cages? Do you have to drill any holes to get a reading? Referring back to the first question, can the Ranco pick up the temps of the other cages?

Im sorry if Im any trouble but Im new to Boaphiles as I have used only Vision Cages.

I appreciate the input

Thanks
