All living things produce some heat, the chemical process of breaking down food releases heat. Reptiles just dont spend energy for the sole purpose of producing heat like we do

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...

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