I discovered this morning Voldemort's heat mat has been slightly pulled from the socket and hasn't been on since Wed night. I fed them all on Wed, and added some Led lights to another viv, that's when I think I knocked the plug. Now I checked the temps yesterday and they were toô low, but the probe was moved so I put it back, checked later and thought it was 27, turns out it was 21  The temps are now up to 28, but as he's been in the cold since eating will this be enough, or is there anything else I can do? Feel so annoyed with myself, poor boy  |

| To be honest, corns are quite good at adepting to situations. Odds are he'll be fine now that you've adjusted the temperatures again :) |

| That sounds positive. Hopefully he'll be alright then. I'll make sure it never happens again that's for sure |

My two decided to self hibernate again, both sat stubbornly on the cold ends, and both go straight back to cold ends after feeding... I was worried, too, as they're about to move up food sizes and I'm a bit scared, as usual, so they both had small and a fuzzy ( L. T. ) and medium and a fuzzy ( Baz ) in last feed. They really needed to be warm, but would they go to warm side ? Nope.
Well, it only took them an extra day longer to digest, and they're both fine ( and have pooed ).
I remember reading somewhere about digestion times being temperature dependent - at 26 - 28 C it's meant to take them around 2 - 3 days to digest, and at 18 - 20 C 5 or 6 days. Mine sat at 20 -21 C and it took them 4 days. So should be ok :-)
I'm glad I'm not the only worrier, though. ;-) |

Brumation is achieved through not feeding for several weeks to allow the gut to empty and then slowly reducing the temperature to around 10-13oC, they will slow down but remain awake. Sitting in the cold end does not equate to brumaation, all it means is they have been in the hot end and their core temperature is warm enough. In the very basic sense cold blooded means they are the same temperature of their immediate surroundings but its more complex than that and they are actually quite good (but not great) at retaining heat once its acquired through several processes.
I think if it hasn't regurged by now its very unlikely to. |

Thanks LB. He's been fine so far so hopefully I've got away
with my silly mistake. I'll give him a little longer before handling
though |
