    Manage temperature in my snake room.
    I was managing temperature with heating tapes but my collection will be soon too big for my home to provide the power charge so i should change for general temperature.
    Is any of you working without heating tapes and managing temperature variations for the all room??

    I heard 29 celsius the day, 27 celsius the night for winter and 30 celsius day and night during summer period. Is that reliable?

    I still run a "hot spot" but I have an oil filled heater that keeps my room between 78 to 82 degrees.

    :confusd:
    there is no "cooling season" needed and more accurate would be keeping your room between 85 to 88 degrees.

    I keep all temps the same even when I am pairing and breeding.

    Could you elaborate more on what answer you are expecting?

    How big of a collection to not be able to use heat tape?

    Iv seen a breeder with
    5-7030,
    4-1075
    3-5040

    And a few Custom melamin racks, I see so way you wouldn't be able to provide with heat tape?

    ^^I do the same as this. As far as "maintaining" the proper temps set your space heater to where your room is at desired temps, or you could plug the heater into a good thermostat that can handle that high wattage. Pit doesn't use a cool down period for his animals but many breeders do. What i do is keep my ambient temp 83F degrees around the clock with a hot spot of 90. When i cool down for breeding i cool my ambient to about 81F degrees during day and drop it to 77-78F degrees at night. I also set the hot spot to 88 during the day and 83-84 during the night. Hope this helps :gj:
