I have never heard of feeding a snake a TV Dinner (F/T) lol

I fostered a Retic and a Burm for months and months out of the year for 4 years (Owner Had Legal Issues )

After only feeding my Lesser once and seeing the work that had to go into it, Holding the F/T rat with the tongs and wiggling it.... I would be easier to toss a pup in there and let him at it.

My Normal on the other hand is a very good eater (So far) basically I lay it on the floor of the feeding tub and he knows what to do.

I always use water from my Kuereg to thaw, so it is Hot 192F after a few minutes there is no chance that the rat isn't thawed
