Hi everyone,
If you live in Sydney you will know just how bloomin' hot it has been during the past couple of days (34-36C out here in the west).
My question is this. I have a 7 month-old Diamond x Carpet & he currently lives in a tupawear container (with holes of course!). There is a heat mat with a thermostat (set at 28C) under 1/3rd of the container. Also there is a bowl of water in there with him.
The thermometer I have in there has been almost contantly at around 34C (obviously the heat mat isn't on much!). The 34C is through-out the container (so no cool spot). I was wondering if this higher temperature is going to make him uncomfortable or hurt him? We don't have air-con so cooling the house (or even the room he is in) isn't a possibillity. We are misting him with tepid water once a day (as per the instructions of the breeder) do you think we should do it more often due to the dry heat?
Your comments & advice are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kath
