Hi Discern,
That is relatively easy to do if you are working from a cold base. On cold nights, my herp building gets to the mid 50s, however, the animals still have basking options up to 110F through the use of halogen floods. The flood heats a small area within the focus of the beam while the surrounding areas remain cool. My snakes, pythons and kings, will typically go between the outside edge of the beam and the cool sides of the cage unless they have food in them, in which case they utilize the full heat of the bulb. But even in these cases they also trasition from very warm to cool in the same evening. I've clocked jungles and blackheads in the low 60s with a large bolus. This doesn't worry me though, as they transition as needed. As long as one has cool enough ambients, a large temp range is possible. Thanks.
Will
