    Prey Temperatures

    I usually heat up my prey using either a blow dryer or the hot water method. How hot do you guys heat your prey, with either boas or Blood Pythons?

    I have never had to heat a prey item for any of my boas, they take it on smell alone, they don't really seem as picky as some people's pythons, I don't defrost in warm water either
    I would be careful about putting prey into boiling water because of starting to cook the item personally

    Thanks guys. I've never used boiling water. I usually take hot water from the tap, and heat it that way. IN a baggie.
