    Re: thawing your f/t

    Hi,

    I thaw them on the warm end of an unused tub.

    The thermostat stops them getting too hot but the process is still slow enough that the scent has time to spread and let the snakes know it's dinner time.

    Then I give the heads a quick blast with a hairdrier just before offering.
