No heat for hatchlings?

[Andrew21]

So I have read that since cornsnakes are from my area, that it isn't a dire need to give them a heat gradient. I was wondering if this would be okay to do with my hatchling rack? My room would be at about 76 degrees. With the rack I'm building, it'd just make everything more convenient. Not to mention the cost. And yes, I'm willing to do what it takes for my snakes to thrive, but if it's one of those things like "they don't need aspen, but it helps their burrowing instincts" or something like that, then I'll do without it. Any comments and advice is welcomed!

I'd still give them the 85 degree hotspot. Let them decide what they want as far as heat goes.

I have to agree with WinWizard on this one. Not only can it be beneficial to the babies to learn to regulate their body temps via moving from warm to cool, it could also help with feeding issues and help you avoid any regurges....which could cause you to lose your babies if they begin to refuse to eat.

Okay, thanks guys! I've decided to heat it.
