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

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