    Temperatures - How do you like it?

    Fellow snake keepers!

    This may sound like a basic question. I got 6 snakes in a rack that I built my self. I got the plans from americanmadeexotics.com. It is a very good 41 q rack, I have no complaints about it. I got a herpastat and 11 inch heat tape hooked up. I was running my day time temp at 93, and my night time at 91. I have since lowered the temp, because my butter had gotten a little scale rot (he's on antibiotics, and doing fine). Since my humidity is around 55%, I was thinking the temps were too high. Can you guys and gals let me know the temperatures you keep your ball pythons at.

    Thanks
