I just read that gabbys like temps in the 90s and anything over 80 will kill a rhino. I was under the impression that both liked temps in the 75-85 range. Which is right so i can adjust if neccasary.
Thanks

I've had good luck with Gaboons when I have kept their temperatures UNDER 80 degrees. I don't have any firsthand experience with Rhinos, but can't imagine they'd be vastly different.

70-80 degrees is safe. Mine were usually kept between a 72 and 80 thermograde. When I was living in NC it was difficult to monitor the temperatures when I was gone, and I know that temps in the cage reached 85 degrees, but I never had any issues with my animals.

I always kept mine at room temp. But I live in FL so its temperate year round.
