no, they can just get tricky when feeding..lol |

Does it say if the stat is a B1 or anything, Matty is trying to help you and we all will...
but just because all of your other royals are fine does not mean this one is, well it isnt or you would not be having trouble and i am not saying it is your fault or anything...
does it dim the red light when the temps are reached?
Also the only reason Matty asked to see your set up was to try and identify anything that might cause your royal to not be happy..
I had a royal and a corn the royal was scared of her own shadow and the corn would strike at any opportunity,
I used a hanky that i had on me for 24 hours and kept swapping them over..with time they are both now fine..
but if you have had him for 3 months he should be used to you by now.. |

Agree with matty. The only bulb stat i know is a dimmer stat and that shouldnt go on and off. |

no its a microclimate stat that all the others are on it is advertised as a bulb stat and all my others are on it i have a matt stat on my matts not that one. i used themometers |

the stat does go on and off but its a microclimate stat and says for bulbs i have 2 matt stats for the matts in other corn snakes and stuff and my royals are on that stat they are ok thermometers |

A proper stat for lights...so a dimmer stat? If it was a dimmer stat, the light wouldnt be turrning on and off. Where is the probe for this stat? What type of thermometers did you use to check the temp? |
| deano |
Posted - 10/08/2009 : 20:13:13
a propper light stat for lights so why are all the others ok running off the same stat same bulbs and same setups i checked useing multiple themometers |

Ok......what type of thermostat is it running off? A pulse stat or a mat stat? That will stress the snake out. A light bulb turning on and off will irritate the snake. What did you use to check the surface temp and the ambient temp? |

What kind of bulb? If it on all night? Are you using a thermostat? Is it guarded? Where are the thermometers? Like I said, pic of your setup would help. |
