    Dude I got one better than that. One of my snakes had mites the first day I brought it home. Uggghhh. I went to the drug store and bought Nix lice shampoo and a lice bedding spray. I couldn't find the stuff so I had to ask someone...how embarrassing. Then I proceeded to tell the guy "Oh its for my snake. He has mites and this stuff gets rid of them." I am not sure if the dude believed me but it was funny. Sorry had to share that..now back to the topic.


    To the OP...the hair dryer works. I thaw my rats for a few hours, depending on the size, then apply the hair dryer for a few minutes. Stay closer to the head. You can heat the body, just not too much. From what I have heard, too much heat on the belly can cause it to explode when they squeeze and become a real mess.
    Take the mouse (WITH TONGS) and move it all along the bottom of the tank or tub. The snake will see the movement and eventually go after it. The first time might take a little bit but after that they will get the idea. Good luck.
