I found out yesterday that the thermostat in Alice’s habitat had quit working. I wanted to move up to a pulse proportional type and narrowed my choice down to either a Herpstat ND or a Helix DBS-1000. I really liked the 7 year warranty that the DBS-1000 has and its use by many zoos. In the end though, I decided to go with the Herpstat ND because of the built-in night drop feature instead of the Helix’s add-on trigger. I hope it gets here before the end of the week.
I offered Alice a large mouse and she snapped that right up. I am going to offer her a smaller rat as well in hopes she will take it.
