Hi guys,

I agree completely, temp and humidity choices are critical and often overlooked. Although, all of my herps (boids, colubrids, monitors, turts) are kept in a building that is cool (low-mid 60s) this time of year. All cages have access to to heat (90-105f) at all times and all animals utilize both the hot and cool extremes, as they are given choices to select what they need. Visitors are shocked to see jungles comfortably sitting at 62F and wonder how i avoid uri.

All of my buddies who went with high room heat suffered all of those health issues that you guys mentioned and utterly failed at reproduction. Most who tried it ultimately quit the hobby cause it just wouldn't work out "their way".

Will
