The ideal temperatures for pet reptiles can vary depending on the species, but generally, most reptiles require a temperature gradient in their habitat to properly regulate their body temperature. Here are some general temperature guidelines for common pet reptiles:
-
Basking spot temperature: 85-95°F (29-35°C)
-
Ambient temperature: 75-85°F (24-29°C)
-
Nighttime temperature drop: 65-75°F (18-24°C)
It's important to research the specific temperature requirements of your pet reptile species to ensure they are kept at optimal conditions for their health and well-being.
