Grimness

that reminds me of a funny story, when Deebo refused his 2nd meal, I thought, whats the point in waisting it ? i gave it to one of my adult corns...bless him it had gone in 2 seconds flat.. then he was just glarring me.. luckily it was his scheduled feed the next day so he didnt have to wait long !

No matter where I got my frozen rodents from or no matter what method I used to defrost when my bp struck them they would burst. And if ya didn't get all the blood etc cleaned up it would soooo may the cage stink.
I can still smell that smell. UGH !

I agree. I've always fed my snakes live, but when I rescued a group of 9 (3 BCI's, 1 blood python, 4 cornsnakes, 1 milksnake), they came with frozen food. I had never fed thawed rodents before so I did like everyone else and put them in my sink with warm water for 15 minutes. Ugh, they just stunk. Then as they warmed up, blood started seeping out of their noses and mouths....ewww. The blood and one of the boas took their rats, but then I was left with 2. I offered them to my snakes just to see, and they all looked at me like I was crazy. Those rodents were SO nasty...I'll always feed live...or at least prekilled.
