What are you trying to do here? Do you just want to iterate through the 
values?

Let's look at the on-line help for range():
range(...)
    range([start,] stop[, step]) -> list of integers

    Return a list containing an arithmetic progression of integers.
    range(i, j) returns [i, i+1, i+2, ..., j-1]; start (!) defaults to 0.
    When step is given, it specifies the increment (or decrement).
    For example, range(4) returns [0, 1, 2, 3].  The end point is omitted!
    These are exactly the valid indices for a list of 4 elements.

I can't see what possible values you could put into the five arguments to the 
heat() function that would make sense as arguments to range().

Perhaps you just want to do 
for max in [CLA, RBW, BAG, MRB, NOG]:
instead?

Please don't shout (which is the what user uppercase means on the net).

Also, can you show how you are calling heat()?
