curious what your(non cycling)temps are for night and day.my current new set up,without buying any new equiptment,seems to maintain my daytime temp at 81 degrees.this is a bit on the lowest reccomended temp,but,withoout buying anything new,i cant get it any higher.so,think this is ok,or should i offer a higher basking spot.just thought id take a poll and find out what the more common temps are.i have noticed in my old/smaller setup,my snake always seemed to run from any temp higher than 85 and offering a 90 degree basking temp is kinda useless since i have really never seen my snake use it.kinda actually limits the amount of space you have if youre sure your snake wants to have nothing to do with it.i have seen it reccomended on more than one care sheet and i was wondering if my snake is just weird or if your chondros also dislike high 80's-90.so again,81 ok for highest temp?

86 basking spot 76 cool spot on top perch 70 cool spot on bottom perch. I keep this consistant never dropping for a night cycle unless im cooling (for breeding) Only time i see them basking is right after a meal.
