Well I commend your indulgence.



Studies of gila monsters in the wild (wow, what a subject change!) have shown that they alternate between basking near the surface and getting to 90 degrees and then taking refuge deep in burrows where their body temp gets down into the 60s. And for many snakes, that is likely what goes on as well. With the Peltier application, something like this can be achieved. Fun stuff, I say. And for breeding Gila monsters where babies sell for $1200 a pop, well worth the effort.
