| We are thinking about adding a Royal to our family. It will probably be my son that buys it and he will most likely keep it in his bedroom using a RUB. I have concerns regarding the temps though. I am concerned that the cool end temp and ambient will not stay high enough in a RUB as his bedroom is quite a cool room and obviously mats do not heat the air. In your own experience what would you say is the minimum cool end temps and ambient temps for a Royal? |

Thanks Auld Bauldy
We have looked at this care sheet as well as several others but would like peoples personal experience/opinions on this. Care sheets vary so much, they give a starting point.  |

Thanks for that. Can I ask if they are kept in RUBS using a heat mat or Vivs with ceramics or heat lights? |

You've the exact same worry I had before getting Wilbur. My room tends to hover around the same temps as reptiledannys and Wilbur seems to be doing fine.
I have Wilbur in a 9l RUB with a heatmat as he's only a tiddler. I've stuck card round some of the sides to make it more secure for him too. |

my female who is currently away on a romancing holiday is kept in a 64ltr rub as she doesnt like vivs, and the male who was kept in a viv with ceramic bulb is currently being moved into a rub due to him not eating for a while, so hoping his appetite will come back and then hell hopefully get moved back into the viv eventually.
imo i htink rubs are the way to go with royals, as my male never does anything in his viv, and it only really looks good to me, not to him, but they can do good in vivs as well, and i dont want to turn this into a rub vs viv thread  |
