Hi i have just purchased my first royal after my beardie decided to give up it's life R.I.P., so i convinced my girlfriend to allow me to have a snake so a royal fitted the bill the best because it was the most docile and the best temperament with having 3 children which love it to bits. I gave it the first feed today and went really well, not sure on sex as yet but will find out in 6 months or so. I am really happy with my royal, so any info and general talk about them would be appreciated. |

Welcome
You only need heat at one end, then the water bowl goes at the other then your humidity should be correct.

you are wanting around 32c in hot end and 27c in cold end, i would change the red heat bulb for a ceramic and get rid of the heat mat at other end, you dont need 2 warm ends, you need to keep an eye on the humidity as well, how big is the viv and snake? |

Cheers everyone for making me feel welcome, just want to know what is the best temperature is, i have a red heat bulb with a cage and is on a thermostat at one end with a hide underneath it, then a heat mat at the other end for at night time which comes on 1hr before the heat bulb goes off, it also has a hide at that end, the temperature is at 88f in the middle, is this ok? |
