Take the camera, I want pics of Kevin LOL. He was always my favorite vet on that show so I'm a bit of a fan of his. Doesn't hurt that he was apparently once a roadie for the Rolling Stones.

Hope it all goes well for the little snake.

About your Acu-Rite...are you sure it just didn't flip over to a celcius reading. Sometimes they will do that and you can just pop it back over to fahrenheit. 23 C is 73.4 F, 25 C is 77 F by the way.
