I am new so please bear with me . So far I have only fed frozen/thawed once - I dropped the mouse in a cup full of hot water from the sink. After about 15 mins I pulled it out and checked it... nice and warm, fully thawed. Patted it dry with a paper towel and dangled it in the tank. The snake grabbed it right away. Is there anything wrong with doing it this way? I see that most people let it thaw "naturally" over the course of several hours, or warm it up in a Ziploc bag. To me it seems like it would take a lot longer to thaw if it were in a bag, since it might tend to float.
