Please Help: Proper cage temperature for Corns

I cannot get a straight consistant answer about the proper cage temperatures for corns. Please give me your advice. My corn and I will greatly appreciate it. Jack Mc/ Central Florida

Hi,

I read in Kathy Love's corn snake book that it is not absloutely necessary to supply a heat source for corns and that they will be just fine at room temperature. I often see lamps over the top of a small aquarium with a small corn with nowhere to cool off in, which is something to keep in mind if you decide to heat a side of the aquarium.

I hope this helps,

Chris

I would say the ideal temp is in the 70's but if it goes a little higher or lower thats nothing to worry about.
