| a heat mat wont give much heat anyway, wait till someone like BE or Daz read this they will reply, but i am thinking you might need one of those clip on lamp thingies... |

wot is the size of the terranium...?
wot is the depth of the substrate...?
You could try covering the top with a piece of wood or equivilent to stop all the heat escaping. I havent used any vivs like wot you are using so can only offer advice not any solutions but i think BE has...
I use aspen in all my vivs and feed in the viv also...i place the rat on a piece of news paper where she comes and hoovers it up.
'In my opinion' aslong as only a small amount is digested, the aspen will be broken down and passed by the snake causing little problems. |

How are you measuring the temperatures? Digital thermometer? Is the probe on the substrate?
I feed mine on Aspen, they all strike feed so its very unlikely any will be ingested, although a small amount of Aspen should pass through easily. If you're worried, like Daz says, put some paper down first when feeding. |

if i choose to uase aspn i will not use much, bout an inch deep.
i have the mat on a habistat stat and at the moment only have an analogue thermometer, i have ordered two digital ones, one for each end, the temps in there are fine by the thermometer but i dont trust analogue ones as much as digital ones, i might just cover 2/3rds of the top of the tank so it doesnt let too much heat escape.
i think i will just put newspaper down when i feed him, he strike feeds anyway but i dont want to risk him having to digest aspen lol
the size of it is 50x30x40 cm |
