Read the FAQ's down farther in the forums... they talk some about the preferred temps that Corns like to be at.

Most North American colubrids can be successfully kept at room temperatures as long as the temp is above 75-76 degrees. They will most likely require a heat source during the cooler months of the year. Down here in Texas, I usually turn off my heat strips off in April and don't turn them on again until late November.

I would say it is fine to keep them at room temp, (mine stay on the cold side most of the time anyway) Except when feeding, they need the heat to digest, around 85 degrees F.

Any temp above 76 is still fine even after meals.
