I am pretty new to f/t feeding. Is a mouse with a really dark bluish-green stomach bad or is it just the way they look sometimes when thawed out. ???
thanks

Not really sure but I would think that you are fine, it is probably due to bursting blood vessels that filled a cavity and your snake's acid will digest it all the same. Like I said though, I'm not an expert, just my opinion.

Can you post a pic?
If it was bad it would really stink once thawed. If it does i would toss it.
and they were defrosted by sitting in my sink for like 5 or more hours. no hot water.

should i just feed her the left one this time around instead of both. she normally eats 2. But the one on the right looks kinda bad to me

personally I don't like to feed FT rodents that look like that. My thoughts on it, it looks like rigor to me, which means that it was dead for a while before it was frozen. Just IMO, I could be wrong. I work in a hospital, and double as the morgue attendant, but I'm sure there are other things that can cause that. Personally i wouldn't risk it. That's why I started breeding my own rodents. I know they are safe. LOL

and also, where is a good place to order frozen mice online. Mice from petsmart/petco are way too expensive. Does anyone know a good place to order online?
