Understood with regard to the parasites - and, the more I thought about this, I realized I could buy a domestic bred lizard/gecko to do this instead and lessen the chance of parasites.
Yes, I have considered cooling him the last time this happen (which was the same time of year actually), but I've never done that so wasn't sure exactly what to do. Since I don't breed my snakes I've always just kept them at consistent heating/lighting throughout the year. I have an undertank hearter (w/o a controller to set temps) and a lamp. Would you suggest simply turning off the undertank heater altogether but maintain the light, or is it necessary to be able to control the temp and simply lower it? Here in Northern New Mexico it's pretty cold now, though our indoor temperature doesn't typically go below 62 degrees. Any tips in this regard are appreciated. Thanks.
