Temps for sinaloan.help please.

azhael Oct 10, 2006 06:53 AM

I just noticed recently that my female sinaloan that always used her hides, spends more and more time out of them, curling outside.
Everytime i take her out she is cold, so i started watching closely what she did. She is only using the cold hide.

I checked the temps, and though the hot side is ok, the cold one is a bit too cold, around 20ºC. And she has refused to eat for the last 17 days.

My question is....what temps should i put the tank then??? What are the perfect/most recomended temps for sinaloans. I don´t intend to brumate her btw.

thanx for any help.

They should have a temperature range of 70-88 degrees F.
70 on the cool end and 88 over the heated area.

Thanks! That's an aberrant Nelson's (100% het for albino) that I hatched out last year.
