I have a few more questions for you lot.
I am going to look at some snakeys tomorrow hopefullyI should then, if I think one of the snakes is ok, be able to start shopping for equipment.

Will a timer switch do ok for dropping the temp slightly at night?

How much should I being paying for a normal royal? I don't want to be ripped off. I thought it would be £100, but I now get the impression it more likely £50-£60.

If i'm using a heat mat will a mat stat be sufficent or is a habistat pulse proportional thermostat recommended?

I may have some more tomorrow or even later lol.Thanks for all your help in advance.

1. Dont bother dropping the temps at night, a small decrese will happen naturaly.

2. You should have no trouble finding a normal for £60.

3. A mat stat will be fine. It should give you a +/- 3*C temp range. However buying a pulse stat may be better in the long run because it can be used with both a heat mat and a ceramic bulb (which is what you may want to heat your snakes viv with as it gets bigger). They are also more accurate keeping the temp within one degree.
