I have two dogs yet they don't scavange for food because they're my pets and it's my responsibility to feed them. Same thing with temps. Is there health benefits to keeping the temperatures in high 60s/ low 70s? If there is, I don't see it. Additionally, it's a lot harder to keep humidity up with low temps. I guess my question is, what's the benefits?
There is no argument the temps are what they are. You mean to tell me it is best to change temps to what we feel is right and not try to reproduce what they are naturally in? Cooler temps makes it easier to keep humidity because the light doesn't need to be on drying the tank out. Do you keep your dogs in temps of 80-90 all day 365 days a year? Give a snake the proper hot spot and they will regulate themselves. They have been doing it long before we were ever around.
