Well...

It is good to know and be aware of irregardless because it gets both hot and the UV index is often high as well here in FL.


Here is another overheating situation:

A lady sent me a dragon some time ago with heat packets. It was not even all that cool outside actually and she lived only a state away from FL. Just saying, it was a foolish error.

Not trying to rake the lady over the coals... no pun intended.



The dragon overheated and was cooked inside the box. I would not recommend using heat packets and styrofoam inside a cardboard box. Heat cooker. She also had minimal airholes. Personally, I would not use the heat packets no matter what.

Poor dragon was essentially cooked to death. Horrible


Hope this is not too graphic... scroll down but beware as it is a relatively graphic photo.

Wrapped up in the paper towels were the heat packets.
