We got our adult corn back in feb. The people who we got him off had kept with no heat mat as it had broken, the only heat he had was being pushed near a radiator and the uv strip light which they left on all the time. We put a new heat mat in straight away. 2 weeks after getting him he shed complete. However since then he has had problems shedding. Do you think that the uv light could have been drying the air out to much? We turned the uv light off 2 months ago as it was making the overall air temp in the 80's. He has literally just shed and it is complete except the very tip of his tail which I will remove this evening. Is this just coincidence or was it the lights drying effect of the air causing shedding problems? What do you think? I am worried that if we don't use the light the temps will drop in the winter to the mid 60's (this happened in march) except on top of the heat mat which stays in the high 70's - low 80's.
