Temp of snake?
Hi, if i used a laser temp gun to measure the temperature of my ball python what should it ideally be? Also i assume the minimum it should be would be in the low 80s?
Thanks guys.

they might be running a bit cooler than that but yeah that's what i'd expect.
they get their body heat from their surroundings, so they will be the temperature of their environment.

I measure my GTP to ensure she is staying a good temp while in quarantine and if I need to soak one of the snakes to get the water temp close to their surface temp of their body.

Everyone has their temps preference over the years I have significantly dropped mine, I started of with 80/82 and 90/92 and now I am at 76/78 and 86/88, and most of the year I don't even provide a hot spot just ambient temp at 84/85
Find what works for you and your animal.

That’s what I’ve been doing lately also.
They seem very comfortable and content at these temps
