How do you regulate the cold end of a snake's home? |

That is a vey very good point!
I bought a mini air con unit from bnq lol
Same here. My snakes are kept in a converted attic that gets very warm in the summer. If I'm in the window's open and there's no problem with the temps, but if I'm out I close the window and set the aircon for 24 celcius and it keeps everything perfect  |

At least it means you have a good idea of the environment your snake is living in. Peace of mind maybe? |

If you are worried about the hot weather Jac, this was discussed recently and the conclusion that was come to was that corns handle the heat better than we do  ! And that it isnt anything to worry about with how hot it gets as it doesnt stay that temp constantly.

I dont do anything to regulate the cool end, same as Sexybear they are just at room temp.

I don't bother, mine are at room temp, whatever that may be. |

Most don't, as long as they're not in a really cold/warm room they're normly ok. Some people have added computer fans or similar to the vents to help keep the temp down a little when it gets warm. |
