If lead paint is so deadly why do they make it so delicious?

She's a beauty. How are they temperment-wise and as far as eae of care? Are they one of those snakes that's pretty much a "room temp" snake where you have to watch for temps getting up above say 86F? I really like some of those old world rats, but I live in the San Fernando Valley and it cooks here in the summer so I don't wanna get snakes that like it cool or require a great deal of humidity.

I dont use heat and keep her in the bottom of my utility rack.She needs no extra humidity to shed either.That snake has never missed a meal and for her small size eats small rats.She has an incredible feeding response.Hate to say it but they like it cool,60 to 75 and 75 is pushing it.I made the mistake of using uth in her cage and she tried to noserub her way out.Murph
