Then, once it's warm, hit the head with the hairdryer (by hit I mean blast with the hot air from the hairdryer) until it's about 100* and then immediately offer it to the snake. Hopefully he'll take it right away and it won't be a problem for you.

I think he is shy I offered him a frozen thawed one and he struck it but then lost interest I put a towel over the tank and turned off the light I came back to check on him and the rat is gone so I'm happy 1 step closer to keeping a happy royal
