How does a snake work?

are you asking how temperature works?

I'm asking if it has any difference between the two options for the animal

if the room temp exceeds 30, put an icepack wrapped in a towel on the cool side of tank. ideally you should have AC when keeping reptiles to prevent this.

If you have indoor cooling, you should never have to worry about overheating. If your room regularly goes over 30c, even over night, then yeah, that's a problem. But 30c is still pretty safe for the snake you have in your picture. It's actually ideal. I have a Great Basin Gopher and a few Crested Geckos that all stay at 85f/30c. It's their comfort zone. That is the whole goal of heat lamps and radiant panels - to heat them up to that temperature. So if it occurs on it's own, yay, you save electricity.

Reptile thermoregulation is just that - they gather heat from the outside. The presence of a heat 'lamp' for them to 'bask' in is natural for them, but they achieve the exact same result by just keeping the enclosure at the body temperature you want them at. It's not natural, and a little boring DESU, but it is safe and effective.

Holy shit that's a world filter on 4chan? I never knew. I'd never type that before. Ha. Learn something new every day. (t)(b)(h) filters to DESU.

Fuck off newfig

No,no,no, that is why I found it so funny. I never use abbreviations. I've actually been lurking 4chan since the Lolichan days. I just always type things out because I'm old and never caught on to the kid's lingo. So I never caught that abbreviation being filtered.

I thought the desu thing was really funny. You remember back when 4chan wordfiltered fucking everything? Surely, you've heard people refered to as Newfriends which is a carry over from a while back when newfag got filtered. During the Boxxy craze, her name was filtered but I forgot to what. Mods were filtered to the people’s champions. Penis and Vagina were filtered to all caps (for whatever reason)

... anyway, I had no idea that there were still wordfilters active. I thought they got rid of all them.

your gopher snek is fine at 85 but that's really pushing the red line for crested geckos. they start to stress at 80.

Yeah, I keep it between 79 and 85. It's on a controller with a day/night sensor in the window behind the PVC cage to adjust the temp.

I had feeding issues with lower temperatures (76-82). They would go 2 weeks without feeding. I had to hand-feed them. (Repashy, of course). One day the dog managed to move a knob on the controller (I am guessing it was him) raising the temp, and the geckos were eating. So I just left it like that.

There are mating behaviors going on right now, so I will need to keep a close eye out for eggs since they can't handle that heat.
