Won't Digest?

Just a question...

My baby cornsnake is a very picky eater, and he seems to eat better at night. However, it is now nearing freezing temperatures here and I turn the lamp off at night and leave just the heating pad on: since I do this, and I feed him at night, will he be too cold to properly digest his meal? Or will he be too cold to -want- to eat? The temp at night is at about 70 degrees.
 
Your little snake should be alright, corns like to eat at night any way. If he gets cold at night he will move onto the heat mat, and if he has the right temp. during the day time he will digest his food alright. 70 is not a bad temp. for the night.
 
If it stays above 70 or so at night, you won't need to heat at night as well IMHO. None of my corns, hatchlings or adults have heat at night since my house never dips below 70 and they are all just fine.
