What temperature do they like?

Optimal temperatures for snakes

The optimal temperature range for snakes varies depending on the species. Some species, such as ball pythons, prefer a warm environment with temperatures between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Other species, such as corn snakes, prefer a cooler environment with temperatures between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit.

How to maintain the correct temperature for your snake

The best way to maintain the correct temperature for your snake is to use a thermostat-controlled heat source. This will allow you to set the temperature to the desired level and keep it constant.

There are a variety of different heat sources that you can use for your snake, including heat lamps, heat pads, and radiant heat panels. The type of heat source that you choose will depend on the size of your snake and its enclosure.

What to avoid

There are a few things that you should avoid when it comes to providing heat for your snake. First, never use a heat rock. Heat rocks can get too hot and burn your snake. Second, never place your snake's enclosure directly in front of a heat source. This can cause the temperature to become too high.
