I put my frozen rodent in a ziplock. Put that in the warm water. Let it thaw.
After it's thawed (1 to 2 hours usually depending on size), I will usually then put the ziplock in another container of warm/hot water to increase the rodent temp above room temp. The second dip is only for 5 to 10 minutes. The rodent doesn't need to be hot, just above room temp. Helps the snake detect it and strike it.
By now it's defrosted, slightly above room temp and dry due to being in the ziplock.
Take out of ziplock and feed non-soggy rodent to BP.
