Thats a really interesting point about the cooler temps. When I first got into the hobby, I was led to believe snakes needed high temps or they would get respiratory infections,

You and the rest of us thought the same thing.

Not only does my snake room get very cold during winter and I leave the heat tape on.. but during summer I have two air conditioning unites installed to blow cold air all summer.

When I started cooling my snake rooms in the summer, the snakes still choose to sit on the cold end..

And again, it is easier on the keeper (me) as the smell and decomposition of things tend to be at a minimum compared to a room kept at 85F. Also it is nice and cool environment for me to work in.
