heating the snake room..

IcedGoddess Sep 15, 2003 10:13 AM

I was reading the post below about temps for heating snake rooms rather than UTH's or flexwatt. My whole house is kept at 78-80 all the time! I'm a huge freeze baby and have always kept my house that warm. Does this mean I don't really need the UTH's? the lowest my house gets, summer or winter, is 75f. Colder than that and i'll be a curled up human ice cube!

BTW, until it started getting colder outside, I haven't been using a heat source for them anyway. and they all seem to be thriving. If you all think it's cool I'll just let them remain at room temp.
