    Rainbow boa temps.
    So this morning I woke up an noticed my brb want in her normal hide... I seen her and something was wrong, she was alive, but wouldn't move... sort of like he was a lil frozen:(

    It got cold last night and I was un aware of the temp drop. My question what is the absolute lowest temp I need to watch b4 it hurts my brb? I will be either moving to a tub with uth on all day and night, or switching over to a 24 hr red light bulb.. everything else is good, just having troubles with the cold weather on way.

    Thanks!!

    I've been checking some caresheets on BRB's and they are all pretty consistent with low temp recommendations in the mid-70's. I imagine that, as with most snakes, repeated exposure to lower temps greatly increases the risk of a Respiratory Infection. As far as a fatal low temp, I haven't found anything specific. I would think that a for sure fatal temp would be 32F for a cold blooded animal as the water in their body would start to freeze...
