Thinking ahead I would like to run a day night temperature cycle in my viv.
What would be a good temperature to drop to overnight, 2-3 degrees lower than day time temps? |

| I work on 24/25 night temp for around 10 hours, so your not far away. A night time drop isn't really necessary but purely a personal choice. I only have one of my vivs setup this way and to be honest it makes no difference, I just wanted to experiment. |

That is exactly the reason I was planning to do it. 10 hours sounds like a good amount, will give it a go.
Was also toying with the idea of introducing some UV into the viv for the daylight hours, I know that it isn't needed as such but can't be bad for the snake as long as you don't have an albino morph? |

Couldn't agree more, I use 2% UV tubes, as you rightly say can't be bad. I chose to use after reading an article in the reptile magazine stating there are health benefits to be gained. |
