Got back this morning and noticed Oscars heat had dropped right down to 21 whatever that is in English.
Just tried another fuse and then a bulb and i think the stat is on the blink, i can send it to habistat and they will fix it, but i might be without heat for three to four days and it is going to be cold tonight  ,
will he be ok or am i going to have to put the heating on as i dont have any spare heat mats either..
Thanks |

Tbh a few days shouldnt hurt so long as it doesnt go below 19
is that the bare minimum for a royal or a corn...is a bit low for a royal isnt it?
he is fine at the moment have been watching temps on and off all night and they are steady...
he probably likes it in there cos it is cramped..lol.. |

Not in your house it won't. Plus Corns can live in the wild here. I probably wouldn't feed during the time, but the snake will be fine. |

it is going to drop to 9 tonight though ,
I will continue to monitor the rub, it is still holding steady right now, if it starts to go up, i will use Quetzas dimmer, but i dont want ti as she only fed yesterday |

What about putting the snake without a heat source in a tub ontop of one of the vivs that use a bulb?
i tried that without him in it and the heat from the top of peanuts viv went up to 42..
at least for now his rub is sitting steady at 30...if i need to move him i will dont worry... |

i have put him in a rub
Kaz & Kayla are sharing a heat mat and i have an unstatted mat underneath him but i have elevated the rub and at the mo temps are holding steady inside his hide,
will monitor the temps and have to get another dimmer in the morning. |

A proper hot water bottle or a coke bottle should be fine. |

Dont bother putting them together, it will just cause more problems than it will solve.
i did say i wasnt sure..lol..i probably would not anyway..
i will sort something out..even if it mean sleeping with the heating way up high...
hopefully habistat will do a quick turn around... |

Think that's why Cyd has retained that egg because the temps fell just at the wrong time. Stupid machines 
Has Cyd not dropped that egg yet?

i have if i take it off Kaylas rub, but i dont want to do that, the other option is to stick him in with Peanut for a few days..

If Oscar has got a ceramic heater then that will work on a pulse stat. If he has got a heat lamp then maybe you can run an extension lead from another stat. Sorry Wolfspirit just trying to help.
i know thanks, i appreciate it, but the other dimmer stat is downstairs..
i will sort something in the morning, in the meantime i will have to have the heating on tonight to get the room temps up and hopefully that will help |

Its wierd how they are going in the hot weather. You would think they would go in the winter when they have to work harder. |
