>>You are a vet? What states would you tell someone it's fine to keep a retic year round without supplemental heat? I don't think you would ever say that in any state.
You are forgetting, thought, that *ideal* conditions are not the same things as *survivable* conditions. For instance, I would never tell a herp keeper that it is safe to feed their pets wild caught mice -- but native snakes eat em all the time. Herps can survive a lot of things that we would never want to inflict on them in captivity.
>>One would probably not reccommend even keeping a native kingsnake year round without supplemental heat because a captive environment is so different from a natural one.
Right.
