Agreed.

I keep my corn snake at normal room temps, never supplied any extra heat at all.

Had him six years now, so it must be working out OK.

You are asking for trouble. Heat is needed for proper body functions including immune response. You may have just been free of issues for 6 years by luck, a temp of 105 for basking (which wild snakes use frequently) takes away the need for luck.
