Corn without UTh

ok, so i am rescuing a corn snake, dont have a UTH yet but if i keep him in a 42 qt tub. In my reptile room it stays 77-80 ambiant with 47% humidity. this check is also on the furthest side of the room were not heat source is. would, during the summer would it be ok without it. if it wouldnt would it be fine for a week atleast

I have colubrids without heat, but I like to keep ambient temps around 82-85.
Rats and Kings but no Corns.

They are putting on size and eating like normal.

thats good, if it stays 80 with door open if i could close, id bet it would go up :D thanks

also i wanted to plug into to ranco but bps has his at 88-94, figured that would be to high for him

Yeah 88 to 94 is too high. You should be fine till you get a uth.

85 and over, mine all soak.

alrighty sounds good

as long as the ambient is in the 80-85 range, you should be fine with no head. I have my corns on flexwatt that's around 84 with my ambient around 80.

I don't know. Not having a head could be trouble.

:p

Corns seem to be pretty hearty in general. I know when I moved last, around May of last year, I had to have my corn in the living room for a while due to lack of space. Between the move and a death in the family I was pretty distracted, I noticed at one point that someone had unplugged my corn's UTH, I'm guestimating that it was at least a week it was unplugged. He was fine. It was very likely not nearly 80 degrees in the house either, I'd guess low to mid 70's. He's safely in our room now and still doing great.

thanks guys, he will have a UTH soon, building a rack for bps, so i will have a free 20 long with heat soon
