How hot do you keep your herps?
This is a subject that over the last 4 years or so, ive started really contemplating.
I know alot of people put quite a bit of importance in how warm you keep an animal.
Im just curious.
what temp gradients do you all keep your animals in?

My Redtails I keep them on average 80 on the cool side and on average 86 on the hot side. still tweaking to get the perfect temp range of 78 to 88. Humidity holding around 50% +/-
My ball python is sitting at a nice average of 82 on the cool side and 91 on the hot side. His humidity is holding around 60% +/-
Mist twice a day yet still have issues with humidity. Has to be the dang screen top cages I am currently using. But anyway, sheds are perfect so life is good for the time being.

For my burms I have 90 on the hot and 76-78 on the cool. For the boas it is 85-87 on the hot and 72-75 on the cool. The ambient temprature on my snake room stays at about 74.
