[QUOTE="Liam, post: 160802, member: 30354"] Hi all, excuse the long post but im having a 3 day long bout of anxiety about heating. I keep a heat mat in between my two enclosures and put about a third/quarter on top of the mat, just so theres a bit of heat there if they want it (ive attached a picture). Ive only just turned it on as its getting colder and my room gets real cold. Both of them have stopped eating completely which ive put down to standard behaviour (g pulchra looks to be in premolt again), i just chuck a cricket in now and then and keep an eye on it, but they both stay right against the glass on the warm side so im guessing they are already cold and its going to get colder. Now, my question is this, if i get a bigger heatmat and stick it to the back wall of the bookshelf they are on and put the enclosure near/against it will that heat it enough or properly? Obviously using a thermostat so i dont end up with cooked pets.[ATTACH type="full" width="311px"]41527[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
