I found that pretty interesting myself when ready all the average temps for areas. My LTT sure as heck use their hotspots though!!! LOL... If they ever get a parasite or are fighting an infection they sure will appreciate a hot spot. I have quite a few Zonata, and they will use a hot spot when provided. The temps for these snakes in their natural environment is not high either, however, I have temp gunned the rocks where I have found them basking (exposing part of their bodies really) and have gotten readings well into the 90's when it was only 70 outside. So, some of the temps can be misleading. I used a temp gun on my driveway one day in MD when it was in the 40's outside. The pavement that was exposed to the sun was 80 degrees. Just food for thought.
