Heat between viv
- Thread starter Patmart
- Start date
Why is the lower viv generating so much heat that it is affecting the top viv? Are you saying that the lower viv heat is affecting the cool side of the upper viv? Can you space the vivs further apart? Can you affix a Styrofoam insulation sheet to the bottom of the upper viv? Can you set the upper viv on a piece of plywood?

Hi no it’s the warm side it’s just that I have thermostat on the heat lamp and the lamp was going out
And I was worried that zuzee was not getting sufficient day time light the temperatures are fine in both viv,s
Anyway I think we’ve got it right now we brought a 50watt bulb and the light has not gone out today keeping a eye on both temperature

Most of us use heat tape or heat pads, usually under the viv, to provide our heat source. Corns don't require light, beyond normal daylight, but some people like to have a light to watch their corns. I don't know if that is even necessary, as most corns stay in their hides.
30c is okay for the warm side, but 20c is too cool. I wouldn't go below 23 or 24c.

If you can control the heat output of your heat mat with a thermostat, that's all that's necessary. A heat lamp is not necessary, and some may argue that using one may cause the scales to dry out. Having said that, I'm sure someone is using a heat lamp right now, but not me. I like to keep the corn's requirements as simple as possible.

Thank you very much I have got thermostat on both my mat and my lamp
In the UK our days are mostly dull
As I said I thought corns need 12 hours of light that’s why I’ve got heat lamp
My vivairiums are 3 foot long and 18 inches wide and high would just a heat keep it warm enough?
