I have a high body temperature and I give off alot of body heat particularily through my hands. Last recorded I give off about 30 degrees of heat and sometimes more all the time.


Would this be a discomfort to my snake when I handle Riddle?

I just wanted to check as I wasn't certain as most people say that the temperature for your snake should be 21-30. I thought damn I give more than that through my hands.

hot end temps from 27-30 yes, but as you wont be sustaining the temps for long periods of time as you are holding your snake it wont be a problem
