Question about heating the whole snakeroom

[Annarose15]

So, you are saying - as long as my room stays in the mid/high 80's this summer I can turn off my flexwatt??

I've never kept them on a second floor bedroom before - and I know from experience that upstairs tend to get pretty darn hot - thus the reason for me wondering if I needed to run the flexwatt - I don't want them to be too warm.

You said to see how they react to this - what should I be on the look out for with regards to them adjusting to this??

Thanks

If the room is going to get that hot anyway, then you definitely want to turn off the hot spot (but I think I understand that you're debating whether to run the AC and hot spot, or neither). As far as signs, I'd watch for changes in feeding habits (suddenly going off and staying off), soaking excessively, and restless activity during the day when they are usually sleeping - pretty much the usual signs when anything is stressing them. Oh, and to your first post, I wouldn't let it get all the way up to 88+, because then it's like they are living on one big hot spot. ~85 is too warm for a "cool" side, and too cool for a "hot" side.
