hey guys i just have a question on temp or diamond pythons. In my enclosure the temp in the day reachs 25-27 in the day and around 20-22 in the night is that fine for an ambient temp. He has a bask spot of 32. What do you think?
Any advice would be great thanks

I start the cooling period for my sub adults but don’t place them together but this pattern gets them ready for the following season when they are placed together for breeding. The only things I keep on the heat and continue to feed are the hatchies up to 18 months old.
Hope this helps. |
