Except the whole point of blood-testing back in that episode was being able to remove a small chunk of the creature that by not shapeshifting back could be used to establish the creature as being what it appeared to be. (messed up sentences fun to right are). A liquid life form, one assumes, would not suffer those limitations, or if it did (for instance, if the whole liquid was sentient and a bit couldn't be separated) then I imagine Bashir would have described the problem a bit differently.

"In Purgatory's Shadow/By Inferno's Light". When Bashir, Worf and Garak were all being help prisoner by the Dominion, they took blood samples from their fellow prisoners to ensure that none were shapeshifters. The exception was the one Breen prisoner.

Yes, but Weyoun was often full of shit. We know from Dukat's statement in "Return to Grace" that the Cardassians had an embassy on Breen... presumably, the diplomats living there would know that the planet is cold?
As for Weyoun's statement, either he was just trying to mess with Damar's mind, or else his last cloning left a few neurons scrambled.

i thought weyoun was just being a mite sado-masochist-sarcastic.. expecially considering all other references to the true nature of the homeworld..
didnt we already have this conversation? too many times?
Weyoun would call a slaughterhouse 'quite pleasant' if he was sending you there.

Or intentionally doing so. As was my theory at the time. Until it was mercilessly cut off at the knees! Thanks.

Well there is also the matter of Dax and Worf's stay on a Breen ship. They seemed to be quite comfortable temperature-wise and it didn't appear that the Breen that entered the cell had to go through any kind of airlock. Unless that section of the ship was all detention cells...
