There is no way I could ever heat my cabin into the 80's F 24/7. In the winter it gets into the high 70's F during the day and drops into the mid 40's at night. The snakes that are not brumating have hot spots kept in the 90's F 24/7. If they want they can move away from the hot spot.
I usually find my baby bulls in a bunch over the hot spot.
The hot spot is under the saucers; the kings like the hot spot, too. A box covers the hotspots to hold the heat in.
But everybody likes to also have a cool hide.
In the summer I turn the heaters down, as summer nights are generally in the 60's F, with sometime heat waves into the 100's F in the late afternoon! I have lost no animals due to these natural heat fluctuations. I just have montane kings and pituophis, no tropical species that would probably need a heated room 24/7.
