    BP's currently without Heat
    My old Thermostat finnaly burnt out or something its not working anyway. The quickest I can get a herpstat for the BP's is around 3 weeks.

    Will they be fine without a warm side of the enclosure untill the new one arrives, or should I worry?

    Do you have a light you can temporarily use?

    Proper temperatures are critical to the well being of your snake.

    I would suggest you go to your local reptile store or hardware store and get a rheostat style temperature controller or dimmer switch so that you can get some belly heat on your snake. Use one of them combined with a reliable probe style temperature gauge and just keep a watchful eye on your temps.

    If you have to wait 3 weeks for your herpstat I would consider sourcing another supplier. The most i have had to wait when ordering one in was 3 days. Try and go directly to the source if you can't get one close by - Spyder Robotics.
