How many of you turn up the heat when power feeding kings?

I do it to get females up to breeding size in 2 years (actually 20 months).

I turn up the heat on kings to 90f so that I can feed large and frequent meals. The snakes get hot enough to sit in the front of the tub away from the heat tape in the back. I noticed this speeds up their metabolism and they can consume lots of food and digest it ina short amount of time.

Has anyone else used this method to grow their kings?
