I finally got my setup stable 80F. What is an acceptable temp drop for at night. I think im dropping to just above 70F but not 100% sure at 3-5 am.

My N. rafflesiana's enclosure is getting to mid-70's at night now that we're having slightly cooler fall temps and seems to be doing well. It gets to mid-80's during the day and the humidity seems to be high 80's day and night.

In summer it's about 90 day and mid-80's at night.

If you have an ultra-lowland then 70 may be on the cool side, but more intermediate-leaning lowlanders might appreciate it.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but would an ampullaria be considered and easier lowland species? Or is it a strong lowlander?

I'm just getting into lowland Neps but I believe they would be on the easier side. I'm trying Amp seeds right now.

Me too, I'm trying the ones from the seedbank. We will all find out how easy they are at the same time.
