[…]Snakes (Opheodrys aestivus and O. vernalis). Heat An ambient temperature of 70-76 F is ideal. A basking site of 80-85F should be available as well.

[…]“instructions” printed on the box directed budding herpetologists to feed their charges “turtle food” (dried ant pupae, at the time) and “sugar water”. We now know that Green Anoles do lap at nectar, but a bowl of sugar water and dried pupae were, to say the least, not welcomed by […]
[…]daytime period of 12-14 hours should be established. Heat Ambient temperatures of 82-88 F, with a basking spot of 90-95 F, will suit most (please post below for information on individual species).
