Hmm...Well guys....I'm havin a hard time findin a book believe it or not on pines but I'm gettin two different opinions for the Louie Pine. I went over to Kingsnake for grins, and 2 people claim they keep there pits at 77-80 and anything over 83 is stressful and cause the regurge. Then again, I have others, say keep them at 83-85. Sooo seein how (if anyone read my post below) I'm coming back to coloubrids after almost a 5 yr lapse...

Which temps? LOL...
Someone also pointed out with pads since hes in a rubbermaid its the surface temps that i should be more aware of and not so much the ambient temp. If someone could clear that up as well, I'd apperiate it.

So far so good though, he seems settle and rdy to greet me with a "huff and puff" lol. Pits are so cute.

THanks guys,
Jess

A general rule of thumb for Colubrids temps is 75F-85F & applies to most species. The pine I had did well even being kept at 80-85F & never regurged ever even with large meals. Mark

I kinda was thinkin thats where the temps should be but wasn't totally sure since I was getting a few different responses. Had to ask for people opinions, THx again.
