Temperature Opinion Requested

jayf May 08, 2006 10:32 PM

I have read that night time temperatures gradients are not as important as the day time gradient.

This being said I am wondering what everyones opinion on having a 75-77 degree temperature during the night. I dont mean to imply that there would be a gradient at night but rather the room temperature would be 75-77 degrees and there would be no other heat source. This is only for the night time period as the day time period would have a proper temperature gradient.

i tried that once. ended up having to take the snake to the vet for a possible RI. he is fine now but now i always have a heat source for him and all of my other snakes (well, except for my dum ...his is indirect).
