This subject is interesting, fun and easy to test. All it takes is a healthy snake.
A healthy snake and the ability to control temps. First keep your test snake in conditions you feel its feeding well at. Whatever that is, once a week, once every 4 days, or like around here, everyday. It does not matter what you start with. Your snake must be feeding and passing fecal. Then lower the high temps, by two degrees, and measure the results. Do that every two weeks until the snake stops feeding. Also, go back to base temps, the ones your started with, and raise the hot spot 2 degrees every two weeks and measure the results. Remember, to make it comparable, feed the same size and amount of food, each feeding. The only warning is, be careful at temps approaching 100F, if you see quick regrug, then lower temps, you are at the upper limit. The lower limits only cause the test subject to stop feeding, the upper limits can be harmful. So be careful.
