Is this a normal temperature for a BRB?

HariKrishna Jun 07, 2004 07:13 PM

I borrowed a friend's Raytek infared thermometer (we use it for cars) and took temps on my three BRBs: 79, 79, and 80 degrees F. Is that pretty much normal? Just curious. My temp was 95 degrees by the way.

HariKrishna,
I just got a Raytek Minitemp and both my adults were at 79.

...I check my BRBs often with the Raytek. They almost always find the place in the cage to keep their temp around 79 degrees. Even the gravid ones seem to prefer this temp.

...I checked several gravid ones the other night and they were all several degrees warmer than 79.
