    Maximum temperatures

    Can someone please tell me the lowest and highest temperatures a BP should be exposed to in a glass tank? I know what their ideal temps are, but what is considered dangerous and ultimately life-threatening. Thanksssssss

    Re: Maximum temperatures

    I prefer to have one of my space heaters set to cutoff when the cages hit 95 and not have anything lower than 78F. As far as dangerous goes...I would have say extended periods of temperatures below 73F & above 97F.

    I usually say ideal cage temps are:

    Hot side between 88-92 F
    Cool side between 78-82 F

    No part of the cage should ever get above 95 F or below 75 F.

    +/- a few degrees outside those ranges for a short period of time isn't terrible but should be avoided if at all possible.
