Sorry, I had posted previously about my snake refusing to eat and figured everyone had seen it haha. She is a gopher snake, probably 3-4 feet. Yes, I'm renting the whole house(my mom is really) - there are vents or heating in every room, including the basement. The basement consists of a "front room", which is my living space. It has two computers, an xbox and a tv.. At night it has been dropping down to the high 60s but rises to low to mid 70s when we wake up(body heat, computer heat, etc.). There is a spare basement room which I was thinking of using for brumation but it also has a vent which heat comes out of. The vents in the basement are very old, they don't have a little wheel you can use to open or close it. There is also the laundry / storage room. That part of the basement is unfinished, but with the dryer and furnace being there I have no hopes for temperature. Moved my digital thermometer around and these are the temps I came up with - 69 - 70 for spare room. I can crack the window open but my mom would probably kill me for that eventually.. Would cause one heck of a gas bill. Same temp for unfinished part of basement, and neither the furnace or the dryer are on right now. Is high 60s low enough to brumate?
