They do like it a little on the cool side, mid 70's with a hot spot around 80. I have kept them at room temp. so far. Most of the snakes that I work with or plan on breeding in the future fall into this category. I like the montane species. The leopard rats also prefer small meals(fuzzies or hoppers). The male hasn't eaten for me yet as he was in a shed when I got him. I'm going to try soon because he just shed yesterday. The female has eaten twice for me already. They seem to process mice pretty quickly.
