Include

Hi Guys,

I've set up my enclosure for the Bredli hatchling I'll be getting next weekend and wanted to check I've done everything right (pics attached). I'll be using newspaper as substrate.

I've used a 5 litre plastic click clack container with a heat mat which I've attached to a thermostat set on 29 degrees. I have also put a thermometer at the warm end. I've put in two pieces of dowling for him to crawl around on, a heavy water bowl and a light bulb hide box at the cool end.

One thing concerning me is the enclosure temperature. Its a very warm day today in Sydney and the thermo reading in the enclosure is hovering on 30 degrees so the heat mat has not actually turned on as yet. It does work as I've tested it without the thermostat.

Would this mean that the entire enclosure temperature is at 30 degrees? eg no cooler area...is this a problem? I'll be checking the mat and temperature tonight when it cools down to see if its all working.

Any comments/suggestions appreciated.
