Why not give them the BASIC choices they make in nature. As in a range of temps instead of a TEMP.

This to me is, heck I have no words for it. All field workers KNOW that reptiles use a full range of temps, yet in captivity people offer, 84.6535342F, then wonder why you have problems. Hmmmmmmmmm

Then state, my conditions are good, because they are what I was told to do. Not good because it allows the animal to prosper.

Again, many here recognize that different species have slighly different temp choices. Consider, all these species will prosper just fine in a simple range of temps.

So yes, forgive me to sticking up for the reptiles. Cheers
