Anyone know good night temps for these snakes, i havent been able to find any good info on that. Im wondering because i will have the day temps at 85 at the hot spot and im just wondering how much to drop the temps at night. This and any other info would be much appreciated, THANKS in advance.

The mid 70's is good for a night time temp. Chlorechis will not typically bask unless the ambient temps are really low and they prefer to stay around 78-80 during the day, but your hot spot will allow your snakes to decide. I have not added chlorechis to my website, but I keep them the same way I do my squamigera so you can follow those guidelines: www.corallus.com/atheris/. Let me know if you have other questions.

Mine seems to like the cool side of the cage except after misting then she will bask under the light.Then she will return to her cool corner at 70 or 72 THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SNAKE.
