Re: Food for thought.

I usually heat all prey items up to about 100F before serving them to the snakes.

That's probably the best temperature to aim for, smack bang in the middle!

I'm just wondering how we can take its temperature or do we just guess? I usually just make it very warm

I thaw the prey items in a ziploc bag and a bowl of warm water. When it's completely thawed I use a hair dryer to heat the prey item to 100F. I have a temp gun to measure the prey items temperature before serving.
