Hi everyone
My first post so please be gentle!
So glad I came across this community.
We are taking delivery of our baby redfoot tomorrow. Have a vivarium setup. A question about the heating.
I like in the UK and our room temperature is approx 19 degrees C. So I’ve been advised to use a heat map by the pet shop. But they have been very vague apart from saying - keep it on all the time and stick it to the side wall by the hideaway shelter. No thermostat.
I believe I’m trying to achieve a temp of approx 28 degrees C.
How to control the temperature without a thermostat? I have a strip thermometer in the vivarium. I’ve reached 22 degrees so far and still got it on. Will it go too high?
Appreciate any advice as I’m very much a beginner.
Thanks
