    Re: Better way to thaw frozen prey?
    Once I get up to more snakes, I will use a bucket with hot water, bu I just toss rats in the water, and about 5 mins later you have warm rats! And my snakes dont mind the soaking wet part either!

    Put it under a heat lamp and rotate once in a while. Use temp gun to monitor rodents temp. Give to snake, snake says thanx!

    Well, the way I do it, is to put the mice in a plastic baggie, with a zip-lock. Then if you can find a container big enough to fit the mouse in the bag, WITH a LID, fill the container up to the brim, [put it on a towel], and put the mouse in it, and keep some of the baggie out of the container, put the lid on (with the baggie a little bit outside), and tip the container upside down!

    The whole mouse/baggie will be submerged because the air that remins in the container will be at the top. You may want a relatively tall container, because the mouse will start to float, but the baggie being caught in the lid will keep it weighed down..


    I use a Talenti ice creame container, lol.

    There's my method, maybe it'll help :gj:
