What temperature should they be kept at? And is that temperature suitable for all 3 ssp?

Thanks!

P.S. Is it pygmy or pigmy??

It's both. I like pygmy, but most text reads pigmy. Pygmy and pigmy are synonomous. The phonetics disagree, but the symphonics agree. Take your pick. The usage doesn't change the snake Sistrurus are awesome.
I provide one of my pygs with under-tank heat. The ambient temp is always in the high 70s or low 80s. The pyg that has the option rarely uses it. Unless you're providing for a gravid female, ambient temps in the upper 70s to low 80s will be OK. In the wild, that temperature range is important for movement. Shane
