Yeah, that's a rough reply...ouch! It may not be just the temperature that determines why they crowd that bask and "pile on". There are other factors to consider. What can they see from one vs. the other? How close is the nearest hide if a predator comes too close or a theoretical bird flies overhead? It may not be just the heat that they feel on their backs.
