Posted - 05/09/2011 : 12:31:16 mats should not be used for royals there is a potential for thermal blocking causing nasty burns to the snake. Heat lamps like infra red, or ceramic are best used for heating royals housing.
The stat for a lighting source should be a dimmer stat, a pulse stat can be used for a ceramic also.
Temps in the hot end around 32-33 degress C.
