Hello there,
For those of you who heat your whole snake room rather than using undertank heaters or flexwatt, may I please ask what temps you keep your rooms at? Day and night?

Thanks! Traci

My room cycles from the upper 70's at night to the mid 80's during the day.

day and night ,,winter and summer.........

now.......in winter the one ceramic heater will not keep up with the cold outside...and yes it gets down to ? 78...and in summer it does go up to 86 at times...oops..(even 88 and kils my ewggs)oops again.........

I try for 82 at chest height all the time.........

good enough.....(balls and corns)and all else............

my room is kept at basically a constant 83 degrees. Since I designed it with snakes in mind and built my room from the ground up, we used 2x6 framing and double thick insulaion it doesnt lose any heat really. I use those high/low thermometers and usually the high may be 84 and the low would be 82 so there is a two degree variance at the most. I use a plug in oil type heater with its own built in thermostat. The only down side is that you have to take out any snakes you are brumating. One of the good things is you do not need an incubatore for your eggs. I just set them up on an upper shelf in their egg boxes and they hatch almost always at 60 days. Good luck. Mike Panichi

Winter time is between 50-55 degrees and dark. March thru November day temps between 80-86 with night temps between 74-78. I always drop the night time temps.
