Hi Jorge,

How warm is your room? The reason I ask is that you may not have a cool enough base from which to work, which will cause regurge.

Right now, a warm ambient in my un-air-conditioned snaker shack would be the low 80s and that is too high. While I don't get regurg any more, I do have heat stress at times, especially from the Boelen's and diamonds which choose a bit cooler at times.

As you know, if you allow them to stuff themselves (which is fine), you must have a large range of temps because they only select those very high temps for short periods at a time. Mine alternate between real warm (a stuffed jcp clocked at 98 under the lamp last night and was resting at 72 this morning) and cool.

For spring, fall and winter, my building has a very cool base, from 45F -70F. This of course is supplimented with either bulbs or tape to get the hot end up to the high 90s-100ish and they use it all. They also eat all winter long that includes kings, Morelia and balls. Thanks.

Will
