    If you're deliberately cooling your snake for breeding, no. Otherwise, yes.
    ~40 Ball Pythons (mostly Freeway/Asphalt, Bongo, GHI, and Leopard combos)
    3.8.3 Green Tree Pythons (mostly TM/TW blueline, a few Highland/Wamena)
    1.2 Children's Pythons
    1.2 Cay Caulker Boas
    1.2 Black Fuli House Snakes
    1.0.4 Amazon Tree Boas (1x tiger, 3x halloween garden, 1x garden)

    My quick simple reply:
    Warm side - 90-95 degrees
    Cool side - 80-85 degrees
    Humidity - 55-60%, 80% for shedding

    Hope that helps.

    Yes, I agree 100% with what Cody said!

    Even for breeding, 78 is too low on the hot side if you are going to continue to feed your animals. The lowest my hot spots get are 82 - 85 degrees during cycling.

    Hope this helps.
