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.

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.

(http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10458 and http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9724)

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

I'm not wqorried about the warm weather per se, but more a sort of pondering about having a thermometer at each end of the vivarium. I've been wondering why I do this because there's not much I can do if the cool end gets too hot!

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

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
