Depends on whos caresheet ya been reading I guess ?

Our BCI,BCL etc all "thrive" in ambient room temp of 90*

In cage temps vary between 80-88 give or take depending on postion in the room and time of day/season etc......

Anything over 90* is for a RI cookoff IMO(in manys opinion)

To each their own I guess,but there is a time tested way of maintaining healthy stock that doesnt jive with 99% of the caresheet info published to the public.The most profound reason being the people writing up all this data have never left their domicile turf,much less been any where near BCI native geo.locales.

>>Well my cool side is about 78-80 and the baskin side is about 100 is that too high should i raise it or lower it
