Hi thomas,

I think it depends on the meal that has been injested. All of my snakes can digest small to moderately sized meals while utilizing a variety of temps from real cool to warm. However it is only when they eat a giant meal that they choose really hot temps. In those cases they will bake (over 100F) for a short period of time and transition to cool and then go back and forth until the bolus subsides. Those are some of the types of problems my buddies had with whole room heat. The snakes couldn't handle large meals, because they could never transition from really hot to cool to moderate. The animals would puke after a day or two. Thanks.

Will
