This thread reminded me of a conversation I had a while back with Fred Burton. I checked to see if I remembered right before I posted. Fred did a core temp study on 3 lewisi, 3 yr olds in the Saleena. He measured body core temps hourly. He found that their optimal body temp is 104-105 degrees. Based on that, maybe that is why jerry and mark have seen their cyclura handle what we think are such high temps. I would bet most dont keep their igs hot enough. Do older, bigger cyclura try to keep that same temp? just a thought
