I am looking to hear how those of you working with large numbers of hognose, and have several successful years of experience keeping and breeding manage your hognose temps.



We've been tossing around the idea of not keeping them on heat. Living in Arizona the weather does not play friendly with most in-home reptile collections.



We keep our hogs in the same room as the pythons and it stays around 75 ambient in the winter and 82-85 in the summer, do not feed large meals, and only feed 1x a week. We are also ok with it taking an additional year to raise up females :O)



Let's hear your thoughts, opinions, and experiences please!



Thanks,

Chris
