Hey everyone, A. maculosa is apparently native to my area, but lately temps in Gladstone have been getting pretty toasty (and it's not even Summer yet!). It's 30 degrees inside the house now, but in my python's tank, the cool end is 30, and the warm side is 37.
Should I turn his heatcord off during the day, but fire it up at night, as I've seen the warmside thermometre cranking up to 40 degs, and I don't want to BBQ the little fella (he's a 10 month old juvie).
Am I worrying about nothing? Being native to the region, the natural day/night time temps shouldn't stuff him up, ey?
He usually hides under the paper towel substrate, but since it's heated up, he's parked himself in the cool side corner, and jammed himself between the tank wall and the water dish bowl.
Any advice/ideas?
