If there is a problem with security or temp, a snake will burn itself. It doesn't move. The nerves in the scutes or along the snake send the signal, but by the time the brain gets the message, the snake is severely burned.


Your snake will thermoregulate just fine, if you provide ambient warmth of 82-84* and the hot spot is 92-94*, controlled w/a t-stat or rheostat w/o any serious threat of injury to your pet.
