Yeah, I'll leave it at that, and give the mods less to clean up, hopefully. Just rude, you are....

Re: best way to thaw?
Well I feed most of my collection live now, but for the few I keep on F/T this is how I do it.
I thaw at room temp (time will vary depending on the size of the rodent) I than warm the prey up with a hair dryer.
Doing so also contribute in pre-scenting the room which entice my snakes to eat.
I used to thaw in warm water; it was faster however it also increased the number of exploding rodent incidents, which is always :puke2:
Not sure if it is the best for everyone but it is the best for me and I believe everyone should experiment and find what is best for them.

Thats the way I do it... it takes about 1hour in the sink with hot water (depending on the size) and then blow dryer to warm it up so the snake thinks it was just killed... and it helps dry the wet rat!
