Enclosure heat

Steve; just to clarify, are the winter temps because you're cooling them down slightly for the winter?

EKS, just get a thermostat for the heat pad and use that. I don't think anyone is going to recommend using a heat pad w/o a thermostat. They just get too hot.

As for differences between species, I don't think there are any real notable differences in the North American species. I believe some species, like blacknecks, may be a bit more sensitive to changes in heat/humidity but that's just my personal opinion, no real evidence to back that up.
