I NEVER recommend what I do, reason being it would not be optimal for a new owner and would not help troubleshooting their issues.

This right here.
What works in my house might not work in yours.

You brought the dogs up so I spun it back to you. I DID answer the question of benefits it is their natural temps. All reptiles need a way to regulate their temps. With 80 ambient and 90+ hot they can only do so much. If you ever wanted to breed you would have a very tough time at those temps. The reason why is because those temps are hotter then they are use to. Otherwise they would breed ovulate and have very few slugs at those temps. However that doesn't happen at those temps because they are getting cooked.

YOU brought up the dogs. Wow. Ball pythons originate from Africa yet their natural temps don't matter. That makes sense.

On this note, I have one question: How many of you are keeping IMPORTED balls?

The burden we have taken to keep these animals is not a straight cookie cutting. However I would say 99.9% of these animals are captive bred and only use to the climate we provide for them. Humans and animals can and will adapt to their surroundings as long as they are reasonable.

Yes, they originated from Africa BUT the only natural temperature they know is 88.9 degrees while they were cooking in my incubator. LoL
