Hey all,

I'm currently on holiday for the next fortnight and Koka has been left on his own. I made all the preparations I thought of, sufficient water, cameras on his temps, a remote kill switch on all the electricity on his tank were something to go wrong, etc.

One thing I never thought about was his cold/ambient temp. I didn't think about it as it usually sticks around 20 this time of year, but having nobody in the house means no heating.

It's about 12pm there (Scotland) and his cold side is around 14 - 15 C! I don't return home until next again Sunday morning and the night time temps are probably even lower. Is this something I should worry about or is he fine as long as he has his hot side? Which stays around 28 - 30C

Never left him all alone for so long so just a bit anxious over him. :)
 
Should also add, he's not been fed and isn't due until the day I'm back, so don't have to worry about digestion. :)

Thank you. I decided to have my friend come by and hook up a thermostated heater on a smart plug and freshen up his water every few days. The heat has made him more lively as seen on the camera I set up. :)

Excited to see my baby again this Saturday, missed him dearly.
