In relation to the last topic, if you house African species (cobras, boomslangs, etc.) in the same room with North American pitvipers...how would you cause or help brumation in the pit vipers? Without harming the African snakes, which I assume don't brumate?! My guess is that you would lower the room temp. and use heat tape/pads under the non-brumating?? But I'm not sure that's correct.
Thanks,
Steve

It's very simple really. You do whatever you have to do to make sure that both kinds of snakes stay at the temps they require. If that means you keep them in 2 seperate rooms, then that's what you have to do. It would be much tougher to keep a cage at 80 F in a room that was 55 F. I'd try to work out something else.

PS - I'm not being a "smart-aleck" Steve. Everybody just does what works best for them. The main thing is that you don't want to risk an exotic collection by keeping them in a cold room. If you have the luxury of 2 herp rooms, that's the way to go.
