Room Heat

[Eric Alan]

Not sure why people are saying to keep the ambient room temp at 82F, that's really hot. I keep my snake room in the mid 70s and the hot spot at 88F. They are doing great, all are eating every week, no problems at all. I think people keep repeating what they hear a million times on the internet without even trying anything else. My snakes are perfectly happy moving from the hot spot to the cool spot and soaking in the water, going wherever they please. I also keep my rats, mice, and African soft furs in the same room, all are breeding like crazy.

First, who are you talking about? You're literally the first person to respond with anything regarding the temperature in this thread.

Second, 82°F is perfectly fine for ambient temperature. What corner of the internet did you hear that it wasn't and have you tried 82°F yourself? In the summer here in AZ when it's 110°F+ outside, it's everything the A/C can do to keep it in the upper 70s/low 80s inside without costing a fortune in electricity and my collection does very well.
