See my post above on the results. With kings, I found out long ago that captives need to be able to conserve moisture while heating. A humid hide goes alot farther than a water bowl for kings.

I thought hogs might be different, more like rattlers. But I found out for myself that they seek moisture too. And in cages, they use mass heat - conduction - more readily than direct radiant heat.
