"Possibly but the over complicated equation used in herpetology to explain thermoregulatory behavior has not led to the production of "beans". And provides me with few citations to see it as credible when applied to actual animals. The variables in the equation seem to be irrelevant and out of context for many animals."



The simple take presented another way is just this, snakes kept at higher temps can digest more food more quickly and produce more beans. That is not to say that after you account for your utilization of all other inputs (space, utility costs, feed) that you were any more effective or efficient than utilizing a smaller more average temp range and more modest feeding schedule. Breeding the "beans" out of stock is "a" measure of success not "the" measure of it.
