In "nature" do Ball pythons get their heat directly from the suns rays (ie basking)? That is radient heat. Or do they get their heat and thermoregulate conductively by coiling around warm objects and the warmed earth? As a nocturnal and somewhat fossorial/subterranean animal, I would think that the answer would lie in their physiology.
Just because the sun is over head and warms the Earth, does not mean all the Earth's creatures bask in all its glory to get to their desired temps.
Belly heat.
