thawing your f/t

[olstyn]

Thanks, guys!

I actually put them under running COLD water, because that's how I thaw meat. And if I forget about them and leave them there for an hour, at least they don't spoil... but it wastes water. Then I pat them dry and warm their noses under the heat lamp for few minutes while I put snakes into cardboard boxes and start dispensing the live rodents.

Hooray for someone who knows the correct (safe) way to thaw meat, which, let's be honest, is what you're doing! I mean, I know snakes have really impressive digestive acid, but still, why encourage bacteria growth in your feeder rodents by "leaving them out for a couple of hours?"
