Yes I'm learning the hard way that i walked into this situation of owning a snake kind of blind, but thanks to this site, i have learned a lot. I can already feel myself getting addicted and wanting another snake! There are just so many morphs that are so awesome, I want one of each lol. Maybe one day... but for now, i'm taking baby steps.

Oh and i'm not just "thawing" the mice. I put them in a cup of water and put them in the microwave for about 15 seconds, or until they are warm, but not too hot, kind of like testing a baby bottle, then i put the mouse over the side of the tank that has an under the tank heating pad to keep them warm.

Thanks again for the advice!
