Postprandial thermogenesis in Bothrops moojeni (Serpentes: Viperidae) [PDF]
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. The present study investigated postprandial thermogenesis in Bothrops moojeni.
