I was reading one of the care sheet on kingsnake, and it said Uro must be cooled down during winter or otherwise the thyroid gland can become swollen and eventually the animal will die from it. Does anyone cool their Uros down during winter. I'm cooling mine right now, but still keep a little basking spot for him incase he gets a little chilly.
