Above is a pic of a basic viv i have.... until recently i had a 3to4 month old corn in a plastic box, aprox 18"x12"x8" with a 7x11 heatmat at one end, but after gettin a duel digital thermometer and finding out the temps were reachin 108f <something which the shop told me was impossible, till i proved them wrong> i added a dimmer thermostat and still found the temps hard to control...
now for the question...
i am using the dimmer thermostst with a red heat buld as you can see and the prob is alongside a stick on thermometer which reads ambient temp of 80f, i also have 2 probes from the duel digi thermometer in the viv too, one on the substrate under the lamp reading 86 to 87.5f and 1 at the cold side readin 70 to 71.5f, also 1 hide under the lamp and another long bark hide towards the colder end... i know the snake gets its heat thro its belly for digestion, but the floor (substrate) does not feel very warm...does all the above sound ok to keep the snake healthy, happy and wise? :) he eats ok when hes fed...ps the dimmer stat is set at 82f 28c resulting i nthe above readings....phew, long winded i know |
 , Same snake 2yrs apart :) |
