| So the viv needs to be cooler at one end and warmer at the other..I've found a heated cave with built in thermostat I'm assuming I can use it as a hide and double up as a heat mat? I don't want it to get too hot do I? Should I still get a heat mat as well or not? |

I've seen these but can't imagine them working well. I'd just get a heat mat and stat personally. I know that corns gather heat from their under bellies. So a heat mat would be more practical.
You can find some good deals online.
I think these habi stat mats are much more
Better than the micro climate brand that I have

You can pick up the mat fairly cheap at

Let us know what you decide to do

Better to stick with the individual mat and thermostat with separate hides. One at warm end and one at the cool.
Habistat Mat Stat (100 watt) and any appropriately sized mat depending on the size of the viv. It should cover approx 1/3 of the floor area. |

| Don't get the heated cave. Just buy a heat mat and a thermostat to control the temperature of it and don't forget to buy a digital thermometer to check the temperature of the heat mat. Cool end will be fine at room temperature. |
