Yes i apologize!! That why i asked could the snake on top of the probe cause the temp spike. since it was only 2 degrees.
Yep that will do it. If he's resting on it he's also sandwhiching the thermometer probe closer to the heat source. So that plus trapping heat under his body/around the probe, it isn't surprising the temp reading rose a bit. One of the reasons I prefer temp guns :p
