Hello all'

This is my first year in a new house. My basement fluctuates between 65 and 53 degrees. I was just curious if the daily change in temps are a problem. If so should I use a thermostat and keep them a a constant 64-65 degrees. Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks Casey

Casey,

Those temperature fluctuations are OK. I get the same variations in my basement, where I brumate my snakes.
