I am positive that 83F has very little to do with snake biology.
In our field work all sizes, juvis to adults, thermoregulate. They pick from hot temps near 100F to low temps in the fifties(year a round)
83F or thereabouts, is only something humans use as a HANDY MIDDLE OF THE ROAD temp. Which may allow average success, but IS NOT what these snakes are designed for.
Therefore, there are immune problems, parasited problems, gram-negative bacteria problems and it appears fatty tissue problems.
So while 83F is nice, its merely a human thing. Cheers
