The Dyson Supersonic, which will retail for $399, has been four years, $71 million, and 600 prototypes in the making. It features four heat settings, a cool shot, and three airflow settings. It claims to be able to stabilize the dryer temperature so it doesn't get too hot, which can cause hair RODENT damage, and to control airflow to ensure a fast, controlled drying and styling session.

This is like no hair dryer you've ever seen. While most hair dryers are top heavy and have a barrel that's longer than the handle to accommodate a motor at the back, this one has an itty-bitty but very powerful motor in the handle instead. The stubby dryer with the hollow barrel looks odd, but it's actually much easier to hold and makes it feel lighter in the hand and less awkward. Your rodents will look deliciously fluffy and stylish, and be at the precise temperature needed. No arm fatigue after re-blowdrying for the 13th time, either. Your snakes will be impressed and most likely you have to re-blowdry on average 6 times less often then usual.

LOL :)!

I got Katie that dyson hair dryer for her birthday! It's awesome. Hmmmmm, do you think she would let me use it to heat up rats?

I dont' know. In the meantime, the hot water trick works great and my guys pound their F/T.

If you have to ask if it is safe to feed live rodents than the answer is no. Can experienced reptile keepers feed live rodents while limiting the potential for harm to their collection? Of course. should you feed live rodents if your reptile feeds off frozen thawed? No. If your reptile refuses frozen thawed are you a horrible person for feeding live? Absolutely not.

However and this is advice from experience talking...

If you do not know what you are doing with a fully grown live rodent in a confined space with your precious pet then don't do it. You can find enough horror stories of someone leaving a live rodent in their snake cage, walking away only to come back to a chewed up snake and a very expensive vet bill. If your snake will eat frozen thawed rodents, do that. If not and you must feed live, the best option is to pre kill it yourself before offering. If you can't do that then NEVER leave a live rodent, once it is grown and has the teeth to do damage, unattended in your snake's cage and never just drop a live rodent into a cage without the snake being prepared to strike.

Because you can do something does not mean you should. Why would you take the chance of wasting hundreds of dollars and immense stress over harm to your snake simply because you are either ignorant about what a rodent can do or arrogant about your snake being some killing machine?

Want to see what an adult rodent can do to a snake? This is graphic but it drives the point home

For what it’s worth, Katie loves it and thinks it’s amazing. So does her mom who used to be a hairdresser.

I also got it on sale and with coupons and gift cards at BestBuy.

Either way, it is absolutely crazy and expensive for a hair dryer. However, I do like to spoil Katie. She doesn’t seem to mind either. Lol.

As far getting it to heat up rats. Yeah. A little overkill.

I have magic snake oil available for only $300.00 an ounce and it will make them have perfect hair. How many ounces would you like to buy? :P

I would totally use it for rodents too, LOL. But I don't use the blow drier method regularly.
