Hi guys,
I'm gradually putting my plan together for a viv and for getting our little fella but something struck me the other day which I hope you can answer.
If I got a viv and found that it was too big for a hatchling and decided to put him in a rub inside the viv, how would he temperature regulate given that the space he was in was much smaller?
Conversely, if I went for just a rub, how do you heat it? I'm presuming that it would still have to be in some sort of tank/viv with heating and wouldn't you get the same issues as described above?
Many Thanks for all your help!! |

As above, rub on a heat mat with a stat.
you dont need to keep a rub in a viv though, as long as the temps are ok everything will be fine. The rub needs 1/3 on the mat and 2/3 off. |

Place heat mat in viv on stat and place rub or faun 1/3 on the mat close glass doors.if you got a ceramic or spot light in your viv stated already you could just set it to 26 to help keep the air temp in this cold wether. |

In theory you could put a rub in a Viv bit would need a lower wattage bulb than if you where heating the whole Viv
For heating of a single rub I would advise a heat mat, connected via a thermostat
