I have now changed setup in the viv.
She has one hide on the heat mat, with a 25w light bulb above her (on in daytime, gives out little warmth)Surface Temp in the hide is 32.5C
Her other hide is NOT on a heat mat, but under a fully guarded 60w ceramic bulb that is on 24/7 (although I am experimenting with using timer to have it go off for a 2hrs every 4 hrs)
Temp on the cool side is 22-25C
I hope this is OK.
She seemed to spend most of the evening and night exploring her new setup and hanging in her "tree" and this morning was fast asleep in the "warm" hide on the mat.
The temperatures are fine, how are you measuring/controlling them? |

just wandered where you were based as it may be possible for someone to come and have a look and help to get the problems sorted much quicker, which would be a benefit to both of you

Heat mat end is the warm end and ceramic end is the cool end. He has to heat the cool end too as he said his house temps can drop very low.

are you sure? i think i'd go for the ceramic heating the warm end and just boosting the floor temp in the cold end with a mat sat at about 22-25*C............ |
