But this is not the coolest climate on a year round basis. In the summer it can get at least into the 80s F (>27 C).
They are also not active all year round at the temperatures located in these environs.
I would suggest looking at some of the obligate montane species in the upper sections of the Alps or the Andes (or maybe some of the troglodytic species like Typhlomolge).
