Posted by: Randall_Turner at Wed Sep 29 16:50:01 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Randall_Turner ] I have to disagree that belly heat is a better source of heat for digestion. I have flip flopped many times back and forth between belly heat and back heat when using racks. The main problem with using belly heat is it is completely unnatural for many tropical snake species.. (How many boas do you see in the wild making their way to an open area in the trees to bask on a rock? Or how many do you see climbing to the tops of the trees to soak in the sun for their warmth? And also how many have you seen get burnt from a malfunctioning heat strip?) The natural ambient temps in their habitat are where they soak up the required heat for thermo regulation and for digestion. [ Hide Replies ]
