In captivity, I have a temp controlled room(incubator room) and I tested temps starting Ambient temps.
I started in the 82 to 84 F range no snakes expressed that behavior. So I kept raising the temps a degree at a time. Once the temps reached 85 to 86F, we started seeing this behavior. And all it took was opening the cage. As we raised the temps another degree it became more common.
This test was done with both captive hatched and wild caught. And it did not seem to make a difference.
Also the snakes ate more and digested their bolus much faster. The test continue. Cheers
