Great! Thank you so much this is extremely helpful - im getting tons of ideas!
Couple more questions...
1. How do you heat your tubs that are on the racks? Do you use heat for each tub or do you just control the heat of the room?
2. I've been sitting here contemplating the cooling process and i'm stumped by one challenge. I dont know if i actually will be able to cool my corns down to 60degrees in my current house. The house itself stays about 70, so even if i completely turn off their heating the tanks ambient day time temp will be around 70...closer to 65 in the morning but by the afternoon the house itself is just naturally warm - even with the heat turned off. I do have a small A/C, but i dont want to cool my whole reptile room as it also houses hatchlings and other animals i dont want to have brumating. The only alternative i can really come up with would be to put the snakes in the bedroom and use the AC...but then of course i have to sleep in a 60degree bedroom in the winter - BRR! The rest of the house is sort of "open" - the kitchen and living room open into eachother and it would be very impractical (and expensive) to cool the whole area. I have a small pantry area that is near an outside door and may get colder if i put them in there and close it off...theres no window in there so i couldnt run an AC. Sorry, im mostly just musing here - but if you have any suggestions on how to keep the temps down for the cooling process that would be great!
Thank you again and again!
