Of course the core body temp will fall somewhat in a few minutes in a small monitor, unless obviously the room is heated close to their "preferred body temp" of around 94f.
I`d like to ask you a question; if the monitor in question was left in the room with an ambient temp of 80f for an hour, what would it`s core body temp be after the 60 minutes? Thanks!

Colder than 94 and on its way to 80? do I get a prize if I win???

It wasn`t a trick question, they have the ability to raise their core temps to some degree by endogenous means (shhhh, that`s between me and you).
I believe Deadly desires won the only prize offered on this website (a trip around the world), compliments of Wayne (Infernalis), so no, you don`t win a thing....

They are not strictly exothermic? Im such a noob, but surely it was colder than 94 which makes it on its way to 80 , no? Can they actually maintain core temps completely , for how long ???

They are capable of raising their core temps by 2c which is very useful, as it means they can begin/continue activity that much quicker/longer.
Now you`ve gone and made me give the answer to the question I wanted V87 to answer (unless he never returns)..... (I bet he will, though)....

I'm truth I don't knw and I don't think anyone could say it all depends not the activity and the size and the health of the moni and sp ... But I knw they can raise their temp by a few degrees in order to maintain activity levels and such in a pinch but other sp of reps can do this also ....

That's a good idea. Talking about things you really don't know is never a good idea.

So that being said ... Dont think u understand....When people take there moni out in the summer months for a hour at a time or sometimes more can u tell me how this does not have detrimental affects to a monitors health .other than stress ... As I don't knw many places that reach 34 degrees Celsius in the summer in the uk ... As it is the preferred moni body temp don't u knw ...

I can`t remember what it was that I agreed with, but something you said made sense, therefore you were entitled to a prize, I kindly suggested Wayne would probably like offer you a trip around the world at his expense.... Or maybe I`m a little confused, and you didn`t say anything I agreed with, and Wayne isn`t sending you on the trip???

I`m definitely getting confused now, I`ve never suggested their core body temp doesn`t drop, YOU said it wouldn`t change in 5 minutes or so, I said it would (inside a "warm" house), but you didn`t state any temps!?
I allow my Asian Water monitor outside when the weather gets warmer (not often here in England, obviously).
It doesn`t need to be in the 90`sF, the surfaces can be quite high even if the ambient is around 75 to 80f. I don`t think my monitor suffers in the least, and he`s as calm as can be, so it is enrichment (so he gains from it). I must point out my animal is 6 feet long and weighs around 20lbs just now so he won`t lose too much (core) heat during the time he`s out (maybe 15mins).

This is getting confusing ... My whole main point posters earlier was that the 5 mins out of an enclosure will not b detrimental to a monis health aslong as its not a freezer obviously ... And 2 that there core would not drop after five mins in a house that hopefully isn't at artic conditions ... To which u said it would ??? And I have already stated that out time out of an enclosure is good and enriching to which u asked me a question in which to try and show off about wether there core would drop in a 80f room to which I answerd ...... So where am I getting things confused ???

Here is Zazu today with 100% healed belly and feet. Crazy to think at one point I thought she was going to die. She wasnt interested in food and wouldnt move. Now she tries to eat me when I go in her enclosure haha
