Indonesian scrubs and barnecks are definitely lowland tropical pythons. The lower elevations on the island of New Guinea and the Moluccas island chain have one of the most consistent and stable climates in the world. They see very little daily change in highs or lows with the seasons throughout the year, usually only a 5 to 10 degree delta over the entire year at most. It’s extremely unusual for the nightly cool season ambient temps in this region to drop below the mid 60’s even in the coolest years. I think heavy cooling of any of the Indonesian scrubs will cause big problems. I agree with the temp regime David used and definitely wouldn’t go any cooler. Cool season nightly lows in the natural habitat of Sanzinia can get down into the 50’s on occasion, so they have adapted to slightly cooler temps than many pure tropical lowland species.
