Is 82 Cool and 90 heat too warm?
When November/December comes around too slightly lower the temps, ill just unplug the heat tape at night.
Ive heard that is a pretty effective way to slightly cool them.
Or ill just not cool them, and introduce them in a few months like someone else told me.
Any advice would be great, thanks!

82 and 90 fine.
is that actual floor temp?air temp? under bedding on the actual tub floor temp?..>LOL......

if it's actual floor temp it's ok all year

you will see they hug front...they are too hot....they hug tape end...too cold...check temp...if 82...winter , they are fine , let them hug the tape....

thermostat here is set at 90 now...it was around 94 for awhile....but that's not the actual temp ON the cage floor...
and I have cages with no tape...balls at 79 to 85 all year long....male usually and doing fine......

90 is the Actual Floor Temperature.
I have all of the heat set up on a PLC me and my dad rigged up.
We are building our own Scada System which gives us the ability to monitor and change the temps anywhere in the US that has an Internet Connection.
My dad is really good with Computers so he helps me out.
The Temperature of the Actual Floor stays within 89-91 at all times.
Do you think in Mid November I just unplug the heattape at night, would be enough of a cool?
