I guess my last post was deleted because I used cornsnakes as a control group in my comparison...lol

here's the info again..without the control group..the **** are where I censored out the 'irrelevant cornsnake" information.





Tell me what you think..

I researched the Temps from March to Sep for hognoses ******* ranges..I think you'll find this interesting..



Setting aside isolated northern populations in ***** species..



********************************************************

******************.



Hognoses had a mean temp in there range of 77-84 with an average of about 81'F



***** species on average experienced lows lower than 60'F during these months



Hognose experience an average of 3-10'F higher summer temps(highs)***********************.



Hognose seemed to have more variation in temps due to range and habitat , at overall higher temps.



I got this info from a weather almanac selecting zip codes within several known major localities.



Now there is one major difference that needs to be accounted for..most******************************* forested areas with little light reaching the forest floor..so mean temps are probably cooler and/or day heating is slower.

Hogs tend to live in more open areas with more direct sunlight, higher surface and ground temps and those temps being higher longer.



Unless I missed something this is direct evidence that they need higher temps than what your average keeper keeps them at.

Now the temps I have are mean temps, (lows highs averaged)..

I think optimum temp is the highest averaged mean temp so ********************************** hogs at 84-85...
