Summarize the following:
Snakes require outside sources of heat because they are cold-blooded, meaning they can’t generate their own heat. An under tank heater that spans 1/3 of the tank’s floor is ideal. Ceramic heat emitters are good for extra heat. The warm side temperature should be about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Corn snakes should have a warm side and a cool side to their tanks so they can move around to warm up or cool down depending on their needs. The warm side is the one with the heat lamp or heater. The warm side should be around 80–85 °F (27–29 °C), and the cool side should be about 75–80 °F (24–27 °C).  Place the under-the-tank heater on the side of the tank that will be the warm side. Make sure it doesn’t take up more than half the enclosure. Use a thermostat to regulate the temperatures on each side. Check each side with a digital thermometer each day by placing the thermometer into the substrate. For your corn snake to be at their optimal health, they should have daily light and darkness. Indirect light from a window is sufficient. If this is unavailable LED or UVB (beneficial but not completely necessary) will suffice.   Place the light on the warm side of the vivarium, making sure the cool side has less light, providing a “shaded” area away from the “sunny” area. The snake should have 10 to 12 hours of light each day. Vivariums should be placed in an area or room that is basically temperature controlled. They should not be near drafts or vents that can blow air on them, and they should not be near heaters.  You should also not place the vivarium near any windows or in areas that get direct sunlight. This can also affect the temperature inside the vivarium. The vivarium should have some form of ventilation but keep in mind that too much air flow can change the temperature of the vivarium.

summary: Provide a heat source. Keep the temperature regulated. Provide a daily cycle of light and dark. Place the vivarium away from anything that will affect the temperature.

Check the tag and use the hottest water safe for the item of clothing you're treating. If you're supposed to wash the garment using cool water only, use cold water instead so you won't warp your clothing. Concentrated liquid detergent is powerful stuff, and it should take the stain right out. Use it only for fabric softener stains that are especially large or stubborn. Leave the garment for a few minutes to let the detergent soak into the stain as a type of pretreatment. Use hot water if possible, but if the garment says "cold water only," you'll have to go with that to prevent damage from occurring. Add the same detergent into the washing machine that you used for pretreatment of the stain. Once the drying cycle is finished, the stain should be completely gone. If you still see a fabric softener stain, repeat the process.

summary: Wet the stain on your clothing with warm or hot water. Rub liquid detergent into the stain. Let it soak. Wash the garment in the hottest water that is safe. Dry the garment as normal.

Before heating your grill, use a paper towel dipped in a little cooking oil to grease the cooking surface. This will allow your steaks to be flipped much more easily as they are cooking. If you forget to oil your grill before beginning to preheat it, hold the oil-dipped paper towel with a long set of tongs to grease it. Preheating your grill before cooking the ham steaks will allow them to cook faster, and give you more delicious browning across the meat. Leave the grill to heat up while you prepare your ham steaks. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill or griddle pan indoors to achieve a similar effect. If your ham steaks are still moist on the outside when put on the grill, the liquid will have to cook off before they begin browning. Use a couple of paper towels to remove any excess liquid on the outside of your ham steaks before cooking them. Evenly space your ham steaks across the surface of the grill and leave them to cook on one side for around 4 to 5 minutes. They may start browning at this point, but shouldn’t cook completely. Use a pair of tongs or a grilling fork to flip your ham steaks over. Let them cook on the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes. During this time, lightly brush any glaze you want to apply to the ham steak across the side you can see. Flip your ham steak over and glaze the other side. Continue flipping your ham steaks and glazing them until they have grill marks on each side and are heated through. Transfer your ham steaks off the grill and onto a serving plate to eat immediately. If they’re not all eaten, they can be stored for 2 to 3 days in the fridge before they’ll need throwing out. For a little extra flavor, brush over some of your remaining glaze just before serving your ham steaks.
summary: Brush down your grill with oil. Turn your grill onto a medium to high heat. Pat your ham steaks dry with a few paper towels. Grill your ham steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on one side. Flip your ham steaks to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes and apply any glaze. Keep flipping and glazing until the ham steaks are browned and cooked through. Take the ham steaks off the grill and serve them immediately.
