Ha! Yeah I think i can get past the freezer part I was only wondering on the process of the thaw. I guess as long as its planned in advance leaving it for an hour or so at room temp should do it. As the snake will be kept in the basement playroom she wont see that part much if at all.

We have been to the Westchester reptile expo two times in the last year. It seems a bit chaotic as it is really really crowded there, but admittedly we were there to just look and not on the mission to buy. So maybe if I am going with the intent to buy I would be less caught up at admiring the emerald tree boas and fixated on finding the right BP.
