Sorry mate, just deleted your thread by accident. 
I was just posting a reply to Chris about Habistat Dimming Stats, they are not suitable for heatmats as they have a minimum load of 40W and most heatmats are <10W.
More info here: http://www.eurorep.net/habistat/dimming.htm

I need a Dimmer, but have no PP to swap for it. Could just buy it from you or give you a mat stat and cash if you wanted?

In your honest opinion is a mat stat going to be good enough long term for my royal?

No, I wouldn't keep anything but a hatchling on a heatmat, and a mat-stat will not be good enough for a Ceramic bulb when you move into a viv.
So if you only want one stat that will last, you need a PP. |

Hmmm, no-one seems to have a PP for swap. How much is it worth? More to the point, how much would you buy it from me for and ill just buy a PP? lol
Are the microclimate B2's as good as the habistat PP's?
cheers

I don't think there's much between Habistat and MC really.
Dimming Stats go for £30 - £40 second hand. The last couple I've bought for £30 so would be willing to pay that if you were interested. |

Personally, no as its newness doesn't really matter to me as long as it works and I know I can get them at £30.
However, I am sure you would be able to sell it at £35 to someone, they are always popular, even if not on here then on RFUK as there is a large classifieds section on there.

hehe yeah man! Went and got myself a microclimate B2, a wee heat mat and a water bowl. Got two of those digital thermometers off ebay. Ive also made two wee hides and have a bendable branch thing for the RUB....All I need now is a pair of forceps for feeding and maybe a bit of foliage.
Oh, and a snake to put in it hehe hopefully Ill have a lovely wee royal to put in it by the end of next week :-) Im looking forward to getting the stuff I bought delivered, I want to set it up for a few days to get the temps right etc.
