That's interesting about the males emerging before the females. I know male montane kings too can tolerate alot of heat from finding them in high temps in the wild too. But it gets cold at night at elevation and I can't think of any microhabitat that would consistently stay above 80 all night, so I think they need the cold too. Except hot springs and kings aren't restricted to those anyway. Thanks for the information.
