At the reptile show I did this weekend, a new dragon owner told me that a breeder told him to put his dragons in the refridgerator for a couple of hours to induce cool down.....



I don't know about the rest of you, but that seems very, very risky to me.....refridgerator temps are 40 degrees and below so I would never think that was safe.



Anyone else ever heard of this?



Personally I don't induce cooldown anyway, I let them decide, but this idea seems way out there to me.....
