Or I put it in a sanwitch bag place it in a cup of hot, not boiling water. I've found when I put it into boiling water then brought to room temp they bust when the snake coils around it..

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Mar-07 Location: Dandenongs, Vic Age/Gender: 28 | | | | I place mine in a bag or container on top of the tank where there is a warm spot. If I am in a hurry, snap lock bag in hot water, not boiling. My MD likes to come out just as I am going to bed and ask for some food!
