Is it normal for a snake to be cold?

[Kaorte]

Our internal body temperature is higher, but our fingers are usually in the mid to high 80s. When I pick up my snakes out of their warm hides, they feel warm to the touch (when I measure their temperature they're about 90*.

It sounds like you're not measuring temperatures.

You will need to measure your temperatures and adjust them accordingly with a thermostat or rheostat.

Pictures would be very helpful.

THANK YOU!!! Our hands are no where close to our core body temp of 98.6*.
People constantly use the "If the the UTH is warm to the touch than it is too hot" and "if the water is warm to the touch than it is too hot". I always check my temps with a heat gun anyway, but I can use my hands to get a general idea of the temp.
My snakes are always warm when I pick them up out of their hides.


OP: The constant cruising sounds like stress to me. Can you give us some details on your husbandry (temps, heating elements, how you are controlling and measuring temps, setup, etc.). This way we can help you to make your BP's more comfortable in their enclosures.
