| Hey people. I'm just worried about Floyd. His temperature at the hot end is only going up to 26! I think theres a problem with his thermostat. It's been like this since I moved him into our new house yesterday. Will he be ok until tomorrow? I can't afford a new thermostat until then. Thanks |

What's the current temp in the room you have placed him in, are you using heat mat or ceramic bulb, I personally wouldn't say its the thermostat but it is possible, are you getting any heat from the heat source at all,
And yes 26 should be ok for a day, if all else fails you can raise the room temps, |

I cant imagine 26 will hurt for one night. Im sure other more experienced people will reply shortly.
What sort of heating do you have ie can you see it being controlled by the stat. If its the AHSType heater they need to be tweeked up very slowly otherwise the casing over temp switch will keep tripping the heater off which makes it difficult for it to build up the heat.
I take it you probably now have the stat turned up to max. Can you feel much if any heat coming from you heater if its not a visable type (bulb etc).
You must have replied as I was typing Danno. |

I'm not sure the exact room temp dan. But my other two are in the same room, next to him in fact, and they are both sitting nicely at 32. They're on heat matts, but floyds drops to around 25.4 then goes up to around 26.7 then goes off again. All three thermostats are set to 35, (which is the max baobab). And I can feel heat coming off the matt, feels quite warm. Here are some pics

| Oh maybe it's the thermometer then. I'll try that first. As I said it does feel just as warm as the others. |
