did you know a snakes body temperature increases after a meal? There is around a 44% increase in metabolism and with that is a slight increase in body temp. I've noticed snakes in an 85 degree sweater box (no belly heat) with a body temp 3-4 degrees higher. So if you heat the cage to 90, after a meal the snake may be 93 and close to regurging. Check it with a temperature gun and you will see.
