Also, I disagree slightly with Mike....I feel that if he is taking the frozen/thawed then keep him on them. They are easier, safer, and have no chance of transferring mites to your snake.
He is right on in saying to make sure they are heated up nicely...try blasting it with a hair dryer for 30 seconds before offering it to your BP. That usually makes the mouse/rat irresistable to your BP.
