Postprandial thermogenesis in Bothrops moojeni (Serpentes: Viperidae) [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2011 Snakes that can ingest prey that are proportionally large have high metabolic rates during digestion. This great increase in metabolic rate (specific dynamic action - SDA) may create a significant augment in the animal's body temperature.
