>>I think that a hot spot of 68-70 degrees and an ambient temperature of 60 degrees for three months is just pretty rough for ball pythons.



I don't think you quite understood what he said. His ball pythons were at an ambient (or at least, cold side temp) of 68-70 degrees, and he had backheated racks with the hot side at 88, which is where I am sure he had his balls. Perfectly acceptable temp ranges.



I am very sorry for your loss, Stryder. Best of luck in finding out what happened!
