>>It's funny because John stated he has had good results keeping snakes at a higher temp then he normally would. I now keep the majority of my collection a bit cooler then before. I used to ntice that at different stages my snakes would go through growth spurts/feeding frenzies. I checked my records and these spurts would occur when temp readings in the snake room were in the mid 70's. I used to maintain their enclosures at 80 on the cool side and upper 80's on the hot side.





Nope...I keep the HOT side Hotter and the COOL side Cooler....

My air conditioner is cranked down to 65F....i get cool sides around 68F /- and the heat cable will heat the hot side to around 90F....



I used to keep it around 72 on the cool side and 84 on the hot, because that's what all the "books" told me to do....LOL



Plus now There are combinations of choices such as Light, Dark, Cool, Hot, Dry, Damp...hot/dry, Cool/Damp, Hot/Damp/Light, Hot/Dry/Dark...etc...etc....LOL



I never kept snakes like that before...Usually it was a hide on the hot side and some newspaper beeding....oh yeah...and a water bowl that they used to ALWAYS use....Not anymore....

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
