So I'm wondering how people choose to heat their royal enclosures from their day heats source to night?

Do you use one ceramic or infra red bulb through the day and night or bulb through the day and just a heat mat at night.

Please any imformation will help.

Cheers

Ian

Hi there, i'm new to this and by far no expert but this is my set up. I just use a ceramic bulb. Used to use a heat mat under the warm hide (heard bad things about using these with heavier snakes so took it away. ceramic on pulse stat run 24hrs. I have a night time drop of 5degrees only because when i bought the stat it was the same price as the on without the night drop.

My mate uses a habistat reptile radiator for his in a 3ft viv and swears by it. both set ups are only lit with natural light.

I use an IR bulb 24/7.

I think you'll find most people on here use one or a ceramic in that way.

Yup, I use an IR bulb on a dimmer stat 24/7. No night drop either.

Are night time temp drops important or not?

If you are trying to breed them it can help stimulate their natural breeding season. I don't drop my night temps.
