Hi everyone.
I am hoping to get my first 2 royals soon.
If I manage to find any they will be 07 females.
anyway, I have got two 4litre 'really useful boxes'
are these ok?
I am going to get a heat mat to go under both and only one stat.
which stat?
Iws thinking a heat mat stat, or a temp stat.
thanks for any help.
I will update as I go along.

[please reply soon so I can order them online! Wink

Why not get a reeeeeeally long heat mat so you have potential for loads of tubs?! Cool

I use newspaper for substrate, cheap and easily disposed of, keeps things simple. By having two hides they can feel secure whilst regulating their body temps. I dont have two hides, persay, but i have a humidity hide and a water bowl which they can get underneath.
