31 is ok, but not ideal for an all round temp, even 38 isnt that bad, its not hot enough to burn.
Thing with temps is, they are not gonna have a thermostat set to 28 degrees in the wild, it fluctuates, it can be as high as 40 degrees in the direct sunlight, and surfaces will be hotter, and the temps will never be the same from day to day.
So, temp fluctuations arent always a bad thing, they can deal with it. |

| I know, she seemed fine, but I want to keep it fluctuating by a slightly lesser amount just for peace of mind :) |
