Hey all. I read the fantastic article in Caudata Culture on cooling methods for axies and got all excited about trying something like example #5, running tubing through a cooler of ice water. I bought a bunch of tubing and set it all up, but the plastic tubing is too well insulated and I don't think the water cools much. I thought about using copper for the coils in the ice but understand this can be toxic. Does anyone know a type of tubing that is a good conductor of heat (cold) and is not potentially toxic to the critters? Is coated copper ok? I figure I need something metal and flexible, so don't know what my options are. I think this method has potential, just need some help with the finer points. Thanks in advance!
