poundland self adhesive stick down tiles

does anyone use these as a substrate for their beardies, and if so how often do they need replacing etc, and where would you put the heat mat (my house gets extremly cold so a mat is a must)

cheers

there fine thats what i use just wash them with boiling water first and you dont need a heat mat with beardies as they cant feel heat threw there tummys and will end up getting burnt

i did use them at one point but swaped over to newspaper again,

as for putting a heat mat under them i don't think that would be a good idea, it may be better to buy a ceramic heater for heating the viv at night

well, im presuming that my bd's get cold at night, im not usually up early hours in the morning to check, what temp is it ok for the viv's to go down to in the night. My thermometer is in the middle of the back of my tank and through the day is 90 - 92 f.

They're saying you should use ceramics and a thermostat instead of a mat as BDs will burn themselves on the mat because of the way they take in heat.

Sorry if you already got that...

i use them in the snake s

i get that bit, but what i wanna know is what is the temperature that my bd's viv can drop to safely through the night. i read somewhere that it is 60 - 65 f but dont know if this is correct.

i dont see any need for heat at night if you look at the temprature post i think was stickied at top it shows that sometimes it goes below 7c in there natural habitat were as my house rarley goes to 19c
