Tony, all this was said, a heat range allows the snake a full immune system, it also allows for things we do not know(which is vast) about snakes.
We do "KNOW" snakes use a wide range of temps in nature. About a 50F range. We do know some of the things that heat is used for. But we surely do not understand all. Thats very apparent as to how we keep them.
Besides, I did not say, do not treat them. I am WONDERING why they are treated so often and common place.
As mentioned, I have not had a need to treat wildcaughts or captives in many decades. And I have had good success. I have not had any snakes die from anything close to parasite infection. Including flagelletes. Which by the way is a problem with overheated snakes. Thanks for your viewpoint, Cheers
