Also, the climate across the U.S. does not resemble the climate in Western Africa. They go underground to escape the blaring heat. Underground burrows are easily in the 80-90 range, depending on the time of year. As an exotic animal, when we keep BP as pets, we are creating an artificial environment that provides the requirements needed to thrive. We give them a heat GRADIENT, humid hides, secure hiding places, so THEY can determine what their body needs in the space we give them.
