So far (crosses fingers) I have not had a problem switching my 2 ball pythons to frozed/thawed. I usually fill my bathroom sink (don't tell my wife) with hot water and let them soak for 5-10 minutes, then dry them with a paper towel.

Well now my snakes are getting bigger and I have 2 (possibly 3) new ball pythons coming this week. I don't think that I want to use the sink anymore. I was thinking of getting a 2.5 gallon bucket and dedicating it to rat defrosting.

What methods do you guys use?
