Scientifically 'bottom heat' is much more important. Especially for digestion and for gravid females.

Scientifically 'bottom heat' is much more important. Especially for digestion and for gravid females.

I'm going to repeat this .... simply because there are multiple, scientific sources to report this .... not once was there any mention of cooked babies. Considering that if your heat source is statted (between 28-32C) cooking babies in this way is nigh on impossible if you accept 45C as the average/approaching lethal excess of colubrid snakes.

Edit - also, female garters are reported to be nothing but exact when they are gravid .... keeping their core temp at 28C with great accuracy.
