Hi all,
I am thinking about moving to Cairns in the not to distant future and i have a couple of questions for people who live in the area and keep cooler climate herps.
My main concerns i suppose is the brumation of certain species, but also how i am going to keep particular enclosures below 30degrees ambient temperature. I know the obvious answer is air-con, but id like to know of peoples experience with a few of the species that i will list below so i know what im up against. I currently have quite a large collection and id like to keep it that way...
a few of the species im wondering about are my :-
-Underwoodisaurus sphyrus
-Tiliqua nigrolutea
-Cacaiphis squamulosus
-Strophurus intermedius
-Cyclodomorphus michaeli
Most of my other stuff should be fine, but i like to get some of the mentioned species as low as 10-15 degrees during winter for brumation. I think my energy bill will be through the roof if i use the aircon to that extent.
Thanx in advance for any help.
