Well TECHNICALLY mine gets turned off multiple times a day ^_^ But thats because my thermostat regulates the temp. It turns it off when it gets to 95* and then turns it back on when it drops below 90*
But other then that I don't touch the heatpad and it supplies heat through day and night. If Elysia wants to cool off she can take a bath in her water or go in the coolside hide, which I might add is perfect for cooling off. Its a ceramic flower pot base with a hole in it, and its buried in my eco-earth substrate so its nice and cool in there cause its insulated by the substrate on top of it and keeps it cool.
She doesn't like to use the cold side much, but she does use it every once in a while. She stays mostly under the hotside log and behind her climbing thingy on the cool side. she likes slithering in the back there cause its nice and tight.
