| Thank you Hodgie, that's also a good idea. I was waiting for my step dad to make something to create a space for them anyway, as the viv on top is slightly off the edge of the other one because the fixture for the light is sticking out of the top of the bottom tank. Like most things in our house he has yet to do it, I'll have to keep asking. |

so sorry to hear that he has passed away. let us know if you do plan to get another royal. and we'll help get your set up all right before your snake moves in with you. it may have been an IBD but as BE said that could only have been confirmed by PM but as you can see from the list i posted there are other things it could have been as well.
it would probably be worth just getting in touch with the store you got hin from let them know what has happened and ask them if they have had any occurances recently of IBD. if you can go in in person rather than phone it would be better.
again so sorry for your loss. |

Lee - The mat never seemed to get hotter than 28C, I do have a digital thermometer at the hot end with it. The lamp in the bottom has a stat to control it, but it just turns the lamp on and off to maintain the temp. I don't think the stats are just for mats, it doesn't state that it's just a mat stat.
Thank you Spor, I may go in and let them know. I'd had him for about 5 months, and then he suddenly turned this week. It was sudden, and seemed happy and active up until this week. I'm not sure about getting another Royal, maybe in a little while or once I've moved out. When I do I'll get you guys to give me the in's and out's on how to make the viv tip top. |

| You need a Dimming stat for a bulb and a mat stat for a heat mat. IBD is very rare in this country, my best guess would be some sort of neurological problem caused by over-heating. However, we will never know for sure. |

| I didn't know I needed a completely different stat for a mat or bulb, he had a mat with the habistat anyway. I don't think he overheated as the temp in his hot end wasn't too high, if anything it was a tad cooler than needed. |
