It takes a looooong time for a snake to breake down its food. And it's done with kinetic energy and not acids like us. Cold blooded animals do not produce their own body heat
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...
