I have a quick question, last week I had a horrible feeding experience as far as once i had dethawed the rat and what not it its guts where coming out. Its smelt so horrible *cringe* It got all over my snake and his enclosure and he didnt even eat it...he just toyed with is for an hr. So i got the rat away, cleaned his enclosure, cleaned my bp and went to the store to get a nice fresh one. I just cldnt stand seeing him have to deal with that rat. Guts everywhere. ....bleh

So does anyone know what caused the guts to spill out after thawed. Was that just a fluke thing or is it because of the way I dethawed it. Ive never had it happened before. And i def dont want it to happen again!

And it had to be the day I was showing my dad how to do everything because I leave for college and he is going to be the primary caretaker.

My dad is now planning to buy the snake "fresh" rats each week, but I dont want him to do that. The plan was to go stock up on rats from the exotic store and freeze em for him to thaw out.

So the main ? is What caused the stomach to explode. Guts hanging out and everything.


Thank you every one!!!
