Our internal body temperature is 98.6 on average, often a degree or two higher. Our surface temperature may be 93 or 94 degrees. So when you touch a snake that is 6 or 7 degrees cooler than our surface temperature it may give the illusion that it is "cold" when in fact it is simply cooler than we are. I maintain my rooms at 89 to 91 degrees around the clock. The snakes still feel cool to the touch. This is normal. Go run your hands under cold water for 30 seconds and then go touch your snake. He will appear warm then.
