Can you put somthing between the enclosure and the heat mat, like some blocks of timber or tiles, to adjust the temps while you wait for a replacement thermostat? |

hes not going to die cos of the temperature if its to hot he will move away i don't like heat mates i prefer heat lights they seem to work better IMO and the snake can bask in it

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Oct-07 Location: sydney Gender: | | | | it was 47 degrees and he was still sitting on it, i tried adjusting thermostat and its just not working and its just not working... the thermostat shouldnt hit 47 anyway, as its meant to max out at 35.... i have some foam to go between it.
but David vella said i should not have heating on atm so thats my least concern.... if worst comes to worst i will grab the thermostat off my geckos enclousure and put it on his
he came out and had a drink so im happy about that

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Nov-05 Location: QLD | | | | hahaha, yeah sorry but i just couldnt help myself.
Virtually every heating problem ive ever heard of is because of those god dam mongrel things, they've caused the death of many many reptiles over the years thru malfuntion or not being set up properly, i just dont trust the things to keep animals with and never will. |

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Nov-05 Location: QLD | | | | If thats the case put a dimmer on the heat pad so that you can regulate the heat of the mat, so that it is just nice and warm for him to lie on and not real hot.
This once again will eliminate the need for a thermostat. ( sorry sledge-hammer prey haha). |

|  | Roadkill Subscriber | Join Date: Aug-05 Location: Western Sydney Age/Gender: 25 | | | | I wouldn't be too concerned mate, if he was too hot he would have moved away. BHP's like pretty hot basking temps, and as the air temp probably wasn't too high his body temp was probably nowhere near 47 degrees. I'd be more worried about burns then something like heat stress. Did you check his belly to make sure there were no burns?

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Oct-07 Location: sydney Gender: | | | i did a feel around his body but didnt check his belly for burns.... atm i dont think i have much of a chance getting him out as hes striking at me from inside his closed click clack lol, i think ill let him be tonight.
and check for burns tomorrow if he has any its straight to David Vella.
do u agree that i should have the temp off?
ps thanks heaps everyone you've been great moral support and help
