I will try to incorporate the heat strips at one end in the future. I just have a hard time believing this would allow us to feed snakes all they want, but maybe there's something to this? I have been doing it this way for a long time, and I get great results, but I am always looking to improve

Joge,
You really need cold room for it to work.A temp controlled room at sat,,80F and then add heatstrips won't work. You need a lower temp gradient.

My rooms get really cold in the winter. In summer (I just got a new snake room) I placed two window airconditioners in the winodws to get it nice and chilled during summer..works great.

heck i have about 4 more window units siting in storage from my old house. if someone lived close by me i would let them use them for this purpose.

These animals live in nature, without you. They know when to eat, when not to eat, how much to eat, etc. Why do you think they cannot do that in captivity? They do know, you are suppose to support what THEY DO, not hold back food because you keep them at temps they would not pick.
