[pretzel-the-hognose]

Hi, I just got a hognose snake and was wondering if you could answer a question for me. My place doesn't have central air so its pretty warm in here during the summer (its reading about 80 right now). Do I need to do anything to cool my tank down? Can he get too warm?

It is possible for snakes to get too warm and become stressed if they’re kept at temperatures that are too high, or if they don’t have a proper temperature gradient that allows them to thermoregulate comfortably, but unfortunately I don’t have a huge amount of experience of the room temperature going above that of Pretzel’s temps, so I don’t really know what to suggest if it gets really hot?

So if any followers (that don’t live in an awfully cold area like I do, haha) have any advice, feel free to share!

I've come across thousands of people in my lifetime. I've seen thousands of different voices, heard thousands of different voices, yet I've only really seen a select few, and actually listened to a select few.

To those of you who have affected my life, either positively, negatively, maybe even both, I'd just like to say thank you. Sometimes I can be stubborn, I can be a moody bitch, but I'm still a good person deep down, and to those of you who actually stick around to witness it, I can't say how much I appreciate it.

Some of you have helped change me, mold me into a better person. You've opened my eyes to ideas I've never thought before, you've provided me a different insight, you've helped shape my world into something so mufti-dimensional, when I used to be so one-track minded.

Some of you have made me realize why I'm so bitter, why I'd rather spend my time indoors away from everybody than out with people, interacting. Some of you have brought to light the worst that the human race has to offer, and I'd like to thank you for that too. If it weren't for the bad, then I wouldn't know the dark corners of my soul. If it weren't for lies I've been told, the way I've been treated, I wouldn't be overly optimistic. I wouldn't know the truth about humans, I wouldn't have gone through anything that helps me grow as a person.

So to each and every individual (some of you may even be reading this right now) who has impacted me, or changed me somehow, thank you.

I think I'm going to write a letter to everyone individually.
