Has anyone ever had a rats tummy split just from thawing under the heat lamp, not while the snake was eating it?

Yep - usually it's followed a a thaw in (baggie'd) hot water then too long under the heat lamp while juggling too many other things - truly nasty. Even worse than that though is when it all looks good and fine until the snake starts constricting/eating it and **P0P** goes the entrails. Ack.

Sure - guts happen. Freezing anything causes the cellular structure to break down a bit...with rodents the abdominal skin is fairly thin to start with, so once it's frozen & reheated it tends to weaken some.
I once left a jumbo rat on a heating pad too long w/o thinking about it then fed it to my male Surinam redtail...he hit the rat like a ton of bricks & it popped like a water balloon. Now THAT was funky!

I can deal with all of that, been doing it for years, its just that is had time to cook and it was annoying to clean up, I don't exactly have a bio hazard box in the house and all the apporpriat cleaning agents within arms reach. I am actually about to graduate, but just cuz I do it at work doesn't mean I want it in my house Hahahaha
