yippy...my male pyro finally ate....almost 6 months.thanks for all that helped... he shed two days ago.. saw him crusing around yesterday, so threw a f/t fuzzy in the tank, and it was gone 10 min later, i tried another one, but no go,,,, but thats ok...i feel sooo much better now, im sure he will resume more now...ok, next question is on temps for the az mt kings... i use a 20 gallon long glass tank, i use uth for heat.. on the warm end under the hide it ranges from 80-84, and on the cool end it ranges from 68-71(still winter here in upstate NY).. my question is, someone recommended once to completly turn off the uth at night and let the whole tank drop to the 68-71 degree mark without a warm spot at night.. is this ok to do? will this once again throw my snakes off eating? i dont mind doing this, but want to make sure that no heat at night is ok w/these, if so, i will just leave the temps as they are, as they do have hides on both sides of tanks........ i thank u for the help..
