That is a good tip as i increased my daytime hotspot to 100F, All my hogs are feeding better, I change my water every 2-3 days so they can swim or drink whatever makes them happy, Also i have gone the extra mile to with my Husbandry, I laid down a big chunk of money for alot Herpstats, Where i can control the morning rise to its peak of 100F at 1pm and at 6pm the temps cool back down slowly hour to hour until at around 11pm the night temp settles in i got that set tp 86F, Its an ongoing adjustment until i am 100% happy but i have to say so far AWESOME, My hogs are acting more like you would expect in the wild well i have no really way of cofirming that till i field observing myself in the future. For example 80% of my hogs will start showing them selfs at around 1pm where it starts getting alot warmer and as the temp goes back down again they slither to cover, If Franks tips work then you will not need a Plan B, But you never know!.,. Happy Herping
