I keep mine on the cooler end of my herp room--ambient around 78 degrees (they do not like it warmer). I give them some extra heat for 24 hours after feeding, but after that they avoid it like vampires to sunlight LOL.



Also, do not be surprised if they stop eating during the winter months. No matter how I tweak the environment, I have two who will stop eating in november and resume eating in march. Others have also shared similar behavior in their animals.
