There is one big difference between a person and a reptile, one is cold blooded and can not create its own heat. Also, because an animal will eat something does not mean it is healthy for it. I'm glad the people that have had their reptiles eat a stuffed animal or a heating pad did not decide to make that a staple of their animals diet. I know thats not what you meant, I'm just giving you a hard time, thats kind of the thing to do on this site. I am pretty sure that a cold animal slows the digestive system down by drawing energy, whether or not this has any negative ramifications, I don't know. I've always tried to give warm food just in case. If i'm in a hurry, I'll use hot water in a zip bag. If I have time, I leave it on top of the cage.
