Um. . I have no experience with this type of thermostat (ZooMed ReptiTemp 500R), however I do have some tiny advice. Please take it with a grain of salt though. You could have wired the 3 BP flexwatt tape together and the 2 corn snakes flexwatt together to save a little on electrical cording. Although your way does by all means serve it's purpose fine too. Personally on my racks I place my thermostat probe on my flexwatt too, and that works fine for my BPs. I place the thermometer probe on the inside of my tub in the center of my where my flexwatt heats. I figure if my BPs push all the substrate out of the way and sit right on the plastic tub then that's the temp I need to regulate, and let me tell you that's the first thing they all did too. Would just like to add alot of people sucessfully use a dimmer, as apposed to a thermostat. What's wrong with just using dimmers, they are relatively inexpensive and get the job done. Good luck and let us know how things go for you.
