with what you have the heat should be no problem. get a digital thermometer ASAP but in the meantime, where exactly do you have the temp gauge located?

You should get a digital thermometer as they are much more reliable, I have a faun too and the temperature is just fine with a digital thermometer.

Hi and welcome to the forums
Sounds like your setup (7w heat mat, microclimate mat stat, faun with kitchen roll) is pretty much the same as mine and my temps are fine with my digital thermometer. Sure you'll be fine when yours arrives

He might have meant its a Diffused ? bloodreds are a selectively bred diffused they are much darker and more of a literal bloodred colour so maybe he meant its "normal diffused" eg just a diffused not a bloodred lol some people confuse things by referring to all diffuseds as bloodreds but theres a difference welcome to the forum get some piccys up asap lol

If there is any way to escape a snake will find it .....and a lose lid sounds as though its asking for trouble. Whatever happens DON'T tape it down! Not sure what you can do to secure it....other than put something heavy on top, which isn't very safe. Hopefully someone who has more experience with faunariums can give you better advice.....if they'll just stop arguing about diffused and bloodreds .

I think that's a good idea, the last thing you want is a wandering snake !

As you only got him on Wednesday I would leave him til next Wednesday before you feed or handle him. Snakes need time to get over the stress of the move and settle into their new surroundings. Don't worry about this missed feed, it won't bother him at all and hopefully it'll mean he will be nice and hungry when you do come to feed him .
