why else would he have made the perfect device for thawing out and warming frozen mice.
i am speaking of course of the Apple TV (if you are not familiar with it, check it out at the apple website) basically just a hard drive but it runs very hot (but not too hot, and has a nice flat surface, put a zipoc baggie of frozen mice on top, and b4 you know it nice gently, evenly warmed snake food. much easier than the nuke water, dunk, wait, check, nuke more, dunk, check method. I'm not sure what the core body temp of a live mouse is but he apple tv gets them to about 120f , and by the time snake is ready to eat they are probably down to about 100f, definitely hot enough to get snakies attention. has worked for me like a charm.
ymmv
cheers
