>>Everyone else has pretty much summed it up.

>>I do live in Ornates natural range, and yes it is very dry here most of the year. Winters are especially dry, but usually stay within the 20-40F temperature range (warm days may reach the low 60s). As for how they survive in such dry conditions, they're active mornings and evenings spring-fall, when the humidity is higher. This is also to avoid the extreme heat.

>>If you're still curious I can look around on my comp for pic or two that should clarify the type of region.





I live in the natural range of the desert ornate & what you've described pretty much sums it up for my region as well with the box behavior. With the exception of this winter our winters are generally a little warmer than you describe.
