Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??

I will change over next week, hopefully it will give enough heat without a too high basking spot... The rep radiator is good but I think it takes over too much of the warm end or maybe better with a higher roof. Do you use orchid bark substrate?

I have 0 experience with reptile radiators so can't comment, do you have a tstat for it? And Yep I use orchid bark.. I'm getting a Perspex sheet for the bottom of the viv just to ensure the wood doesn't rot

Yeah it's on a dimmer stat, they very good for not taking up much room. I worry about him eating bits of bark by accident !

Never used a dimmer stat I'm using a proportional Pule stat keeping the temps exact which is what I like, and no as long as the rodent is dry and you watch him swallow he should be fine or just lay down some paper towel to feed him on

They can work just fine. They just require either a consistent ambient temperature and regular temp monitoring or a less-than-consistent ambient temperature and hyper-vigilant temperature monitoring. :)

As far as I was aware it was the best one available ? It was more expensive than a pulse. The temp doesn't fluctuate not even by point of a degree

Maybe a dimmer stat is better suited to a reptile radiator? but I think pulses are made for ceramics.

i'm waiting for an update too. Hopefully he'll be ok :please:

I think you should soak him for about an hour a day until he sheds.
