Hey guys ugh im not a very happy bunny im normally super obsessive about checking my temps glance at the thermometers god knows how many times a day the other day the temps went down quite low so i turned up the stat a teeny bit was monitoring the temps they seemed steady at 29 However i noticed this morning when putting the mice for feeding in the viv to defrost then i noticed theres a hairline crack going through the middle the tank over the heat mat my first then i noticed the thermometer probe wasnt actually on the heatmat and probably hadnt been for a few days arghh so i removed the snakes rubs and put the probe back on the mat and waited the temp shot up to 40!! i immediately turned the stat down again (the dial was set to just below 30 from what i could see!!) so now ive turned it down to im assuming what should be about 26 expecting the actual temperature to be somewhat higher
Have i done the right thing ?
and will the tank be usable to house one of the snakes without nme doing anything to it or will i need to seal the crack first ?
Assuming it's a glass tank, I'd just get some glue of some kind and simply glue a bit of perspex over the entire bottom, or a bit of lino. Sometimes the crack is only on one side, so it depends on if you can feel it from the inside or not really.
Bit of a problem
