Hi folks!
I'm getting my snake room setup and wanted to check with you guys on proper ambient temps to heat the room to before I move the snakes in. I just purchased a ranco wired thermostat and this heater. I have everything setup and it's been running for the last two days. The thermostat seems to be keeping the temperature within 1 degree of its set point without any noticeable swings. I must say I'm really impressed with the ranco's accuracy.
I currently set the temp on 78 f, but wanted to know if you think I should bump it up to 80, or if it should be lower.
I'd also like to know your opinions on the lowest I should set it (i.e. in winter months).
Other than BPs, the other snake species I have are boas, Kenyan sand boas, and a western hognose. I believe all of these guys have similar low ambient temp needs, so hopefully I can find a temp that all will be comfortable at.
Thanks for your time and help!
