what is the optimal snake room temp? thanks in advance.

I like keeping my balls around 84 to 85 during the main part of the year ,I'm starting to cool down a bit at night to 83 all heat is left on w/ a hot spot of 90 to 92.hope that helps alittle ,so many people do things defferent.I know of others that keep them warmer and others that keep them cooler

thanks for your reply. but what im asking is the room temps that the balls are housed in? thanks again.

you using heat tapes too?.....room can be 80 to 84......

no heat tape......?.......room will be 80 to 88........and a fan helps.......big fan not a little 12" one.....

I use a little fan and ceramic heater and the room runs 79 to 88 depending on my mood..and my heaters mood..........I try for 82 to 84.....

now I run 80 at night and 83 or 84 all day with a couple hours here and there at 86......

heat tapes have been turned down to 88 and not 92 at all......and will be set to 84 this winter I think...they will be left to be colder

one temp for room.......84
