Who knows, maybe if the smell of the prey is still in the tank, and you go and put your hand in the tank to handle your snake, the snake gets agressive because it thinks your the prey.

The way I heat my frozen mice up is, you boil water, put that water in a mug, put the prey in a ziploc plastic baggy, put that into the mug for about a minute or less. Then press on the mouse to see if it is warm and not still frozen. That should be good.

Good luck
You don't want to cook it. I'm not sure how much truth there is to this, but I think if the meat is cooked at all the snake can get very sick. I think a lot of people use hot water from the tap, but I wouldn't put it in actual boiling water.
