At the time I was breeding alterna I was still a kid living at home and my temps were dictated by my A/C nazi father.

I had 2 pair that were kept at roughly 78-80 during the day and 75-76 at night basically year round... maybe a degree or two drop on the coldest days of winter. There would be a few cool days in the summer when my mom would complain that the house was too hot haha.

I also did not provide hot spots for any colubrids back then and followed the silly "1 mouse per week" rule because i didnt know any better at the time.
