    Heat question

    I am currently working with only ball pythons an I have a room set up that stays at a constant 80-81 degrees. If I decided to get some corns in the future, would they need any extra heat or would this be ok to keep them at? I have heard a couple say the just keep them at a high ambient temp with no heat. I'm not going to jump into anything anytime soon but I would be cool to just have to build a rack and not worry about heat tape and thermostats.

    That should be fine. I personally give my corns an 85* hot spot but it's not necessary. There are several users on here that have corns and don't offer heat because they have 80-82* ambient temps
