what I have trouble with......
you post that you chuckle and think that it's stupid that snakes are to not be too cold at night....
yet when you say your king escaped...you said..."thankfully he had not eaten for 7 days"......therefore you agree that low temps are bad and if he would ahve JUST eaten he would have regurged or worse?......correct....
...then you say you held him to warm him...and he shuddered just like we do when coming in from the cold....
seems to me...you confirmed tha fact that too low a temp is bad for snakes and that they actually WANT and need warm temps...?
.yes it gets cold at night....yes snakes are out in the snow covered grounds of March.....yes they hate it at 100 degrees....
yet given a choice they would stay around 85....
....I bought mountain kings to utilize the lowest levels of unheated racks....in a heated room...guess what...they don't likw it at 79....they want 85.....I have ball pythons that can take colder temps than some colubrids.....
yes....IF the snake gets 90 for hours a day...70 at night is fine...yes...it's all about evening things out.....
....I had a burm looong ago...no heat,on floor ,never sick always ate and did fine....in a house...set at 65 in winter....
I would never do that now...
........I'm done rambling.....
