Temperature and neurological disorders.
Sometimes I think the Internet is the cause of all my worries. Last night I was reading up on what temperatures cause different types of burns in reptiles, when I stumbled on the topic of temperature extremes causing neurological disorders, particularly in pythons. A guy on one forum blamed a broken thermostat for literally melting his carpet python's brain over night, and it had to be euthanised.
What sort of extremes are we taking about? I can't imagine a snake sleeping on a 105°F surface for a few hours would cook its nervous system, especially if the ambient temperature is within the correct range. That guy's viv must have been like an oven!
