>>While some of the more "durable" species will do OK with a constant temp I will have to go with John on this one. Actually I'll even go a step further and say it is simply a fact that all species will be healthier in general when given a temp range.
>>If you speak with anyone that has a large collection and changed at some point from a constant room temp to a temp gradiant, they will tell you that most of the unexplained problems that were happening here and there in their collection just seem to stop.


And breeding problems like egg binding and fertility problems decrease........in my mind I think that movement to multiple desired temps, humidity and secrecy spots give the animal more exercise than one that doesn't have these options......I also see a better feeding response from hatchling mexicana and mountain kings.......
