I just wanted to note that my ambilobe male, Herbert does not do well with night time temp drops to 66 degrees. I’ve noticed every time I give him that exact night time temp drop (or less), he doesn’t come out of his sleep spot the following day until he is prompted to do so. Meanwhile the Nosey Be right next to him is going about his day with no problem. On the first occasion I didn’t notice it until the afternoon and honestly I thought he might be dead in the thick pothos. Since then, I’ve been vigilant and have noticed this behavior every time the temp drops to 65-66. When this happens, I have to gently rub the base of his tail and his hind legs to move him upwards toward warmth. His eyes are sunken like he’s in a deep sleep but when he warms up, he’s normal Herbert. This is not for lack of hydration. I don’t like the look of this and will drop temps no lower than 70 to see what happens.
If anyone has had issues with similar night time temp drops and behavior please let me know. This may just be his physiology. He’s 8 months old and his casque is showing some signs of being slightly overweight. My fault!
