GTP ThermoRegulating question.
I've been hunting all over the web for an answer to this one. I've been considering getting a GTP down the road. I've read all the housing requirements. My question is this.If you had an adult GTP in a cage whose dimensions were say 4'x2' and about 6' tall, with foliage and climbing branches. If you were to heat the top of the cage via ceramic heat emitters or heat lamps to 85-88 degrees f. and the bottom of the cage was heated to around 75-78 degrees with either heat tape, or a uth. Would they thermo regulate by climbing up or down? Or would one side need to be warmer and the other side cooler? Also, what would a good night time temperature drop be? And would that need to be the whole enclosure? Or is the lower temperature good enough. Thanks in advance!
