That really depends on the humidity. I can take a desert 90F or even 100F all day without AC without issue but 80F temps with a 70F dew point absolutely kills me. I lived in my area without AC for years. I never got used to it, I just stopped functioning when it got hot and muggy.

Mine is programmable. In winter it’s set to 65F at night and 68F durring the day. When unoccupied it also goes to 65F. I’d love to be able to set it lower because I love the cold but my pet snake probably wouldn’t appreciate it even with their hot rock and heat lamp. Durring the summer I have it set to 68F while sleeping 72F durring the day and 78F while unoccupied. I don’t shut the AC off while unoccupied because in my area humidity is a much bigger issue in the summer than temperature and removing latent heat takes a long time if you let it build up all day. Currently working on refitting my system for better on demand latent heat removal.

Same, I’m kinda holding out because I heard that tooth regrowing drug entered human trials and mine aren’t that bad yet.

Let the AGI take over. I for one submit to our new artificial overlord. It couldn’t be any more dumb than our current government.

But the same thing can happen with vasectomies so why isn’t it showing anything there?

As a man I can assure you that this pill wouldn’t be feasable for me to take and I’m better off without it.

Yes? If I could get everything in one place then I would happily pay for that. I don’t pirate to save money. Saving money is just a nice sideeffect. I pirate because it’s literally more convenient than juggling 15 different services.

Overthinking has to be my favorite hobby.

Mine is a ball python. They seem to prefer basking under the heat lamp after eating. Also they haven’t ever pooped in their water dish that I can remember, but I have had them horf up a partially digested rat in there before. That incident was made even more pleasant by the fact that I had their heat lamp positioned over the water dish at the time (to try and keep humidity up) and it happened while I was sleeping so I didn’t catch it for several hours. So I awoke to my entire house being filled with the miasma of a partially digested rat which had been stewing under a heat lamp for several hours. The smell was indescribable and beyond the imagination of any sane individual.

Unfortunately I don’t think the $20 I have in the bank right now will cover the cost of the test rig.

Oh yeah, basically the easiest way to do it would to pump water out of each basin, through a heat exchanger, and then back into the basin. That way you could have your whole temp control aparatus located outside of the terrarium. Plus that would also easily enable automatic water level management to keep the water levels identical. For your heat exchanger you could just use a CPU water block and a peltier device. You regulate the power going to the peltier device by monitoring a temp sensor in your water return pipe and just pulsing the peltier device on and off at different rates to control the heating or cooling rate. Plus with the peltier device you can just reverse the polarity to switch from heating to cooling to enable the shuffling of the basins. All of this would be controlled and charted in a csv file by a raspberry pi. Additionally you could connect a simple motion sensor so the pi could flag the times the snake was using one of the basins to make it easier to read the data.

Rather than monitoring ambient temp or humidity you would probably be better off just keeping them tightly controlled and constant via other systems. That would further reduce variables for the initial test.

Snake tax. Here’s the little turd the one time they decided to get stuck in my couch. They were perfectly fine but I had to partially dismantle my couch to get them out.

That’s an interesting point. I grew up with well water in MN where our ground water temp is about 43F (6C) so I am used to practically ice cold water just being on tap. It makes sense that what you like is going to vary based on what you’re used to.

I have been thinking that all day. But to do it properly I need a bigger terrarium and some more supplies. You can’t have the dishes be different sizes or that’s an additional variable. But I also want to keep a big enough dish that they can soak in it. They never actually do because I keep the humidity high enough but they should still have the option.

So I need to have a large terrarium with several identical water basins all in the same area. 3 basins would work (warm, room temp, and cool) but ideally I would have several set to various specific temps. Each basin should be able to be heated and cooled to reach a set water temp and which basin has which temp of water needs to be shuffled ocasionally to eliminate selection based on exact basin location or similar variables. That heating and cooling could easily be acheived with a peltier module and a temp sensor on each basin linked to a controller. You would also need a camera to view which basin the snake actually uses.

Of course I already know what would happen. I would spend a couple hundred dollars setting all that up only to learn that my single braincell possessing snake would only ever use the closest basin.

Rename it to Mexico. Then the whole gulf of mexico situation is fixed.

If I have to break out anything more than a plate/bowl and utensils then it’s cooking.

I mean, fair though. I would never want anyone looking at my code either.

I’ll take a little sulphur over the radioactive poisoning…
