Just to clarify: A snakes 'warm' we would consider too cold to bath in. (Unless you come from Lapland or some such polar place.
)
The water temp should be unable to be felt against your wrist. When you put your wrist in, at the wrist point (not the hand) the water should feel neither warm, nor cool. In fact, you should have to swish your wrist around to even feel the water at all.
Remember how it feels to climb into a warm bath when you are feeling cold, that the water is often too hot for you to even tip a toe in. This is roughly what 'our' warm would feel like to a snake and we go and dunk an entire snake body in!
Always make sure the water is at a temperature that you would consider too cold to put yourself into. It is better to be too cool than too hot. Heat stress can KILL a snake.
Have I made myself very clear here ?
