What temp range do you prefer for:



Neonates? And do you brumate them?



Juveniles? And do you brumate?



Adults? " "



Please let me know.



I think if I have baby hogs in 2013, I will keep their heat on and let them eat through the winter, to give them a "boost" their first year. My best guess is this is what 90 % of hog keepers do.



But my main concern is I'm offering undertank heating AND overhead heating at this time, I have the overhead in the form of a lamp about ten hours a day at this point, eight in November-January, slowly increasing. Are they getting too much heat/light? And should I turn their undertank heating completely OFF at night?



I was a lizard girl for a long time, my snakes were first but lizard lighting/heating has me in a sort of biased position right now, my hogs LOVE LOVE LOVE basking...I just want to make sure it's right for them, and what they should be experiencing at night (they tend to move to the cool or middle side to sleep anyway, unless they've recently fed). I was actually considering perusing the forecast for their natural range and mimicking it every day, but I wonder if it's worth the effort!



I've got a range of sizes of westerns and just want some advice. Thanks
