Question About Night

Luthien · 01-28-15, 01:09 PM

So I know that the hot spot during the day needs to be between 75-85 but what about night? Do I leave the heat the same or should I turn off the heat pad? What is the lowest it can go at night?

Oh and I'm talking about a corn snake here. Lol

It depends on the ambient temp in the room the snake is kept. Most likely you can turn it off if you would like. I would leave it on though.

Leave it on I shall

I just wanted to know if that's alright but now that I think about it if she wants to be cool there is the other side of the tank, thanks!

I live all of mine on 24/7.

I leave my heat source on 24/7 as well. The hot spot should stay around 86 and the cool side can be in the low-mid 70's.

I leave my uth on 24/7 for all my snakes unless theyre on cooling cycle for breeding.

The vote is unanimous! It stays on 24/7

Thanks guys and yup the hot side is sitting constantly at 85 while the cool side is constant at 73

Unless you're breeding and using night drops you can keep it 24/7.
