    night time temp drops

    so the night time temperature drops are not necessary but does it benefit the snake more to drop the temps? or does it not matter because leaving the temps alone is alot easier lol

    It's more of a hassle unless you're breeding. It's mainly used for breeding purposes.

    Unless you are breeding it can actually be harmful so I'd just not bother.

    Even breeders cannot always agree on it. I would suggest the benefits are low and potentially not necessary at all, debatably, even during breeding.

    My guess is it's easier to leave them alone. I've noticed that our BP will come out an explore when the temps drop a bit at night. I think it's a clue to their bodies that its night time.

    Re: night time temp drops

    i think maybe i will just let the temp stay where it is, sometimes at night the room the snakes in gets a little cooler only by 3 or 4 degrees but im just gonna leave the temps alone for now and see if he acts different i guess
