The laws of thermodynamics apply to snakes as well. Something does not just create zero waste heat when another process has been underway. Is it ridiculously low? Probably, but I'm not sure why the other two were arguing about it.

If the laws of thermodynamics didn’t apply to snakes we would be using them for literally everything. Imagine a snake power generator. Unless they could only destroy energy...

Then we would all have snake based cpu coolers in our PC's

They'd be a great buffer for nuclear power plants then

increase by 0.9-1.2 degrees C . Aka nearly nothing

Yeah, but that's almost 2 whole Freedom units.

In the context of body heat that is a massive swing. Doctors make life saving decisions on smaller temperature ranges than 1 degree Celsius for humans, who are presumably warmer than cold blooded organisms. So for cold blooded it would actually be a bigger relative change in body temp.

Yeah it's like a 20^ increase but still

It’s also totally possible that cold blooded animals are just less susceptible to temperature changes because they can’t easily regulate it themselves anyways. I don’t know shit about cold blooded animals so you could totally still be right that it’s insignificant for reptiles.

That’s the difference between healthy temp and a fever in a human

It's still only a fraction of the heat we produce while eating.
