Regarding the rainbow... Reptiles magazine says "mid to high 80s". Lol reptiles says even higher at 85-90. But then rainbows r us says 85 and North Hampton reptiles says 83. This snake has been the hardest to find consistent info on. I will probably opt to keep it on its own so I can change it based on the snakes behavior.

So I guess I will do the colubrids and ball on one and give the red tail and rainbow their own. 3 is easier to maintain than 6 so that's still good.

I say 88°F because it is pretty hard to get exactly 90°F, and for a BRB it is much better to be cooler then warmer. As long as you don't go above 90°F at all you will be good. Keep in mind you can also use extra substate to make the temps cooler or warmer in some of the enclosures. Your warm temps are good then. Can't wait to see what you come up with .
