BenRG:
Well, that explains the deer! This place is sounding more and more like 'GMO Park' - a dumping ground for various bits of technology and its products that no-one wants or needs anymore.
I'm with Gavia, by the way: No going into the woods during the Rut!

Liquid nitrogen should be enough.
Pit vipers have eyes too.
They can sense the heat from anything hotter than themselves. For snakes, this means anything hotter than the environment. For these deer, who knows? This sense will be no help in avoiding running into a tree. Unless the pits are kept colder than the trees.
Zebediah:
Yeah, there's a reason that warm-blooded creatures don't see into the infrared. They'd be blinded from the heat of their own eyeballs. Or, given the lack of eyeballs in this case, the heat from the rest of the head.
Possible solution: An insulating layer behind the retina (or whatever else you'd like to call the heat-sensitive organ) that blocks the heat from the rest of the head.
Other possible solution: Don't overthink a webcomic.

And this is now my signature, thanks. If you don't mind that is.

Go ahead. I think I lifted it from something similar said on Usenet ages ago, but I have found it to be quite true.
