Interesting!
I just today traded a bunch of mice for three 20 gallon long tanks so I can match up my 2010 pyros in trio and pairs. Currently they are all separate in 10 gallon tanks but will be brumated together in the trios and pairs this fall and put in their new tanks in the spring. I was tempted to put them in the new tanks now but I think waiting until they are ready to brumate will work out better. I don't expect them to breed next year, but it has become obvious they do need bigger quarters, as they have gotten pretty big for those little 10 gallon affairs.

All my pyros seem to favor temps in the low 70's. I give them a couple of choices on the moist sphagnum moss hides, one in the cool area and one over the UTH. They like the space between the UTH and the hide in the warm spot during the early spring when it is quite cool but as the season progresses into summer they like to be cooler. I turn off the heaters in the summer, as they don't even bother with them.

I will be most interested in how things go with your pyros. How old are they? How many do you have?
