Hi all,
I think I have finally realized why Tiamat has not been eating. Outside of ovulating - which I am POSITIVE that she had an egg in her belly last week. She hasn't laid, and it looks like she has reabsorbed it - but I have noticed something. In the week that she was eating, her temperatures had remained around 95-94 for a few days. She ate twice.
Then it started getting cooler outside and my temperatures started to drop. I am currently using a Zoo Med Repti-Sun thermostat and I have always had trouble maintaining a steady temperature with it as it seems sensitive to the air temps in the room. I have been thinking of using another rheostat like I have for Mandarin's tank because it seems I have to adjust it less often. Tiamat has steadily lost wait and now she's about 38g. Her temperatures were around 92-93 sometimes lower and I thought she liked it like that, and maybe she did when she was brumating. But I'd like to try to maintain her temperatures more evenly at around 95 like I have for Mandarin - and she eats like a pig. So should I try a rheostat again?
And does anyone use this thermostat? Is it any good? BAH-1000SC Reptile Thermostat. I have heard that the Repti-Sun isn't a very good thermostat and I think that may be true....
