That reminds me that years back I read some sort of article or study that concluded that snake's health was less resilient when they had totally steady environmental conditions, but at this point, please don't ask me where I read that. I just throw it out there as food for thought, because that's one of the big differences between our sheltered pets & those in the wild. And it makes sense to me that if all you (or any animal) ever knew was a narrow range of temperatures, that your health would more likely be thrown for a loop when exposed to something outside that steady "comfort range". The thought was that occasional climate adversity improves their resilience & overall health. That said, we'd be very lucky to see a good scientific study on this in our lifetimes.Originally Posted by Gio
