can anyone help me with a snakey problem?
the room temp where I keep my snakes is at 28* the thermometers/stats in the faun and viv seem to be picking this up and stopping the mats activating. just got my boa out and she feels cold and so does my corn. Is this ok or is there summat I can do?

Only had my boa a few days and Im hoping this wont stress her out.

Thanks.

snakes are cold blooded, we are warm blooded, they should always feel cold xxx

Don't crank it up, particularly if the snake is still in the viv. Take the mat out, leave unconnected for an hour. Then check it by turning the dial up gradually and go by the temperatures shown by the thermometer.

There should still be the red power light showing or pulsing depending on the type of thermostat you have. The only thing you can check is the mains power fuse in the plug.

That's OK then - I normally have the Boa at 30*c so she is a bit low anyway - the lights seem to have died on my matstat so I hope it isnt totally broken - I have cranked up the setting and gonna watch closely. Glad the corn is fine tho.
