Exactly what I have been doing for 2 years now with my subadults....the "hot" side of their enclosures are around 90F and the "cool" side is room temp around 72F or so.......it seems to have had some success as opposed to cooler temps or the lack of thermal gradients.........I think the key to raising snakes up as quickly as possible (with the snake being healthy) is providing them with a thermal gradient....Oh yea, another key is lots of food items often........NokturnelTom should tell us how he does it......LOL
I have never seen a 12 month old snake over 4 feet until I saw some of his......And they are not obese at all....Long, healthy snakes that are very proportionate in size.......
