hello.
I live in south Florida and i am thinking on getting bush vipers,(ateris cholorechis) right now i only keep new world tree vipers(eyelash,aspers and bilienata)i keep them in my garage at room temp. 45 degrees in winter and 90+ in the summer, I spray them twice a week, I only have fluorescent lights with a timer for the plants, my question is can a keep the bush vipers the same way or i need to change something.
thank you.

They will not do well at either end of you current temperature range. They require a daytime ambient temperature in the mid seventies, with a night drop of 5-10 degrees.A daytime basking spot may reach the low eighties. The humidity should be raised in the spring or fall to mimick their natural wet season. This can be accomplished by a daily spraying. During the rest of the year, one or two sprays a week will suffice. They prove to be very hardy captives as long as you meet these simple criteria.
