I only have the one hood, but I still use a timer, but only because my schedule is so irregular. Some days I'm out at 7am, and get home at 10pm, and others I leave at 1030am and get back at 5 pm

Do you use night time bulbs for heat? I use night time bulbs in all of my enclosures except the snakes and the beardie, so if I were to use a timer, it would get too cold in the tanks before I could change out the bulbs. So, I just turn them on in the morning when I get up, then 10-14 hrs later, depending on which tank and what time of the year it is. I'm pretty much always home before 10, so I turn them off when I get home if I get home that late.
