think about how warm 111degs isnt. that is only 12.4 degs warmer than your hands when you hold the snake. not that big of a deal.
BPs are nocturnal animals. While you might see one on occasion out and about during the days in africa, they spend most of the day in their burrows, where it is significantly cooler.

Not to mention every breeder or keeper I've ever spoken to would agree that 111 degrees is FAR too warm for a BP. They are not baskers.

It's my snake and his health involved and sorry but I DO think it's a big deal.
