    Ambient Temps

    What is too low for an ambient temp? My hides are at ~82 and ~92. My ambient is at 75 without the nighttime light. I am trying to avoid the insulation method of the glass tank if possible but if 75 is too low I will go that route.

    Thanks

    Ambient temps ought to be around 82F.
    I would definitely insulate the tank

    remember that the insulating of the tank sides doubles as snake security. it's a win-win situation. i have foam boards ducttaped to the 3 sides and it looks fine.
