Low temps...

Do you think I could skip quarantine? Because my room gets to 80-82 during the day.

The first post states that one member did a "study" himself and looked at one clutch versus a control group of his clutchmates and compared the growth.

Unfortunately, a study from a sample size that small cannot even come close to being convincing. There are many many other factors that affect their growth, including genetics and environmental factors for both the snake and the rodent it eats.

They would have to actually look at hundreds and hundreds of treatments in order to isolate what is being looked at from any random variation. My guess would be that there would be no direct correlation between the growth of snakes eating cut rodents versus snakes eating non-cut rodents.

Doesn't make much sense to me. Get a space heater for the quarantine room temporarily. Skipping quarantine is NEVER a good idea!

Who cares how fast your snakes grow? ... They're living creatures ... enjoy the gift of being able to keep them and care for them and let them do their thing on their own schedule. ;)

Okay. I have a space heater that you plug into the wall... Let's hope that's sufficient ;)

Adam_Wysocki - Okay, I won't bother.

Oh Adam, Jimmy cares. Jimmy cares A LOT. ;)
