Cool to touch?

Are snakes suppose to be cool to touch? because when i held my snake, she felt cool.(she's not cold though) is this natural? or are they suppose to be warm.

i think i'm over-worrying

This is the reason they feel cool to the touch. Heat flows from the hottest to the coolest so as you hold your snake, the heat is flowing from your body to the snake. As this happens, they feel cooler to you.
