Night Temps?
Are night temp drops healthy / necessary for your snake? Is it beneficial either way? I've been keeping temps steady throughout (providing gradient of course). Curious on peoples thoughts.......

Re: Night Temps?
My snake room drops 5 to 10 degrees at night and I find no issues with my snakes. These drops occur only in the winter months.

Re: Night Temps?
I don't know if this would be considered naturally but I turn my heat lamps off at night but I keep the UTHs on. My house also gets pretty cold at night during winter.

It happen naturally. I heat my snake room with oil filled electric heaters. In normal conditions they keep the room around 85 degrees.

Re: Night Temps?
Ditto to everyone else. Heat source (with the exception of a small heat mat) are turned off, temps drop naturally.
