Frank,
That is the information I have been waiting to see you post. Thats how you do it man. That is valuable stuff.
You can get the gradients you talk about in a rack. We do it here and I know a few other breeders who do so as well. Although I do not see a reason to have a cool spot lower than the mid to high 70's.
I agree with your natural way of keeping Frank. There is no question that it works and can be better for the animal in some cases. With hogs, I have not seen a difference in activity, feeding, breeding, or any other aspect. We have a few set up similarly to the way we keep our varanids but the hot spot is a bit lower. No need to offer a hot spot of 130 plus degrees to a colubrid. It is cool to see them burrow in deep natural substrate, but truth is, they do not hide often at all. They are usually out and about all day constantly moving between heat gradients.
