Well I bought a thermostat off eBay for my Beardie, but I don't have him now, and the thermostat didn't get used, is it worth keeping it to check the temp in Pendulums tank or not really?
And what do I do if the heatmat isn't giving him enough heat (on the off chance it isn't). |

| No the mat isn't statted, I often feel it to make sure it isn't too hot but also it's still working, it seems to be fine but just thought I'd get some advice. |

| Use it on your snake ^^ You'll be surprised at how cool 28c feels to the hand x.x I always think Ripley's viv is cold, but I check the temps, and its 28.7c constant, so it must be fine! |

| Stat your mat! Feeling it wont do. Most mats will be too hot for a corn, not to mention it could overheat and burn everything touching it. You need a good digital thermometer too , have both probes on the mat/closest to the mat on the inside of the enclosure as the temp markings aren't great on stats. |

Just if you've not been persuaded by snake safety reasons already - use the stat to save you money!
Controlling the heat with a stat means you only use the electricity you need too  |

I took the Beardie back to the shop, it was the time when Pendulum was settling in and just been fed, I hadn't handled him and wanted something new so I bought him, but the guy said if I wanted to take him back he would put him in his personal collection, so I chose to.
On the subject of the heat mat, I am working on getting it sorted, for now I think he is OK, he's been like that for 4 weeks now and nothing bad has happened, I just wanted to get some information, I will be doing it when I get a digital thermometer though, which shouldn't be too long.
Thanks for all the advice :) |

| You should put the stat on NOW. Just because it has been ok for 4 weeks doesn't gaurantee that it will be that way forever. |

| Using a stat without a digital thermometer is better then no stat at all! As an experiment I turned on a heat mat and placed a plastic box on top of it and left it for a couple of hours it was not on a stat. When i checked it it was so hot i could hardly put my hand on it. If a snake had been in that box it would have been roasted literally. |

Yes, far more wise than not having one at all. |
