Re: First time snake owner, looking for help!
You can let the temps drop overnight. As a corn he's pretty resilient, as long as your room is above 70 he should be fine. You could also try elevating the light off the cage so it's further from the floor. It will heat the tank less but you'll have to lift it pretty far im betting.

Re: First time snake owner, looking for help!

Re: First time snake owner, looking for help!
My corn snake is kept at room temp for the most part. My house stays about 66f. He has a heat mat set to 85f on one side of his viv and he has always done very well with this set up. The good thing about corns is that they are not overly sensitive to lower temps. I would not feel good having my corn at 90f at all.

Re: First time snake owner, looking for help!
It's easier to recover from a drop in temps than a spike.
I had a corn escape and he was gone for over a month in 50 degree temps.
Corns are very resilient.

Re: First time snake owner, looking for help!
One more reason a thermostat makes everything so much easier.
You don't have to stay home and play mommy as much

Re: First time snake owner, looking for help!
