So maddam has had abit of a change round in her viv . Basically we couldnt get the temp rite in her warm end . with the stat and probe ontop of the XL exo hide it read 32c however the other nite i got her out and she felt really cold , so i popped the probe inside the hide (without her in it) and it was only getting to 25c . so i used a big bit of cork bark to make a hide in the warm end with prob ontop as i thought it could penetrate the wood abit better . And lets just say i have been eye balled ever since . All last nite and as soon as i got home tonite i have her two beady eyes watching me!



"i do not like this , the feng shui is all wrong!!"

and i managed to catch her having a good drink , i love love love watching them drink! to see their little cheeks going!



and her having a stetch out on the sofa!

:) I love the pics Laws, especially her drinking and mooching on your sofa.

I'm a bit worried about Fea, temps aren't bad but humidty is low and he has been at the top of his plant since last night. Still tomorrow is 2 days after feeding so i'll get him out for awhile, I won't be happy until he has his usual outing.

Great pics - yeah, new setups are a pain - just when you've taken every precaution and given time for temps to stabilise, it always seems to take a load more tweaking ...law of sod, but you'll get there, and the setup's great.

Lol - will you now be going to have to buy another sofa for you and Sarah, since Lexi's now big enough to need her own?

we have another three seater that me and sarah sit on so she can have that one for herself , but if she out grows the three seater she can go and find somewhere else comfy lol!

Yeah its odd as i thought that with the probe ontop of the exo hide it would be fine as it was reaching the rite temp . Rudi has her probe just outside the enterance of her hide on the floor. so i had to put lexi's ontop , rudi felt nice and warm but lexi felt really cold .

I worried about the wood being close to the bulb incase it set on fire but it seems ok ? or is that a silly tihng to worry about ?

It looks fine as far as I can see - I worry about the same stuff too, especially in the lx vivs where there isn't as much height for a larger hide to fit beneath the guard, but it looks ok to me.

I'm coming to the conclusion that stats, and their probes, are like snakes, all different lol ...
