Yes, but the physical limitations of the radiation that is emmitted (and therefore detected by the snake) is low enough of energy that it cannot be detected through solids. The surface (or very near the surface) only is what will be detected. The prey items are emmitting infrared, and it is a physical limitation of light, not he physiological process of detection that limits the perception of inside vs. outside temps.
