    an adult mouse take about an hour to an hour and a half to fully thaw. regardless of what you're thawing I have a simple trick for when to start heating the mice. I wait till they feel soft and are seemingly sweating. I keep my heat lamp around 8 to 10 inches above them while I heat them too. Make sure once you start heating to check on them every five minutes or so. Once they are nice a fluffy and warm i hold them up under the light for like 10-20 seconds then offer it to the snake. Like I said, also try putting her in a tub or box with a hide next to them before offering. The smell helps stimulate the snake a ton!

    watched the vid saw that i could offer the mouse head first, i was dangling it by the tail which might be another slight fail on my part. my other snakes dont mind it at all so i didnt think to try it this way

    Am I the only one who thought it looked like he was setting up a Ball Python BBQ? Good video.

    If you want you can also take a blow dryer to it for a bit. I like to keep my f/t fairly dry when feeding. I have my rats in single servings vac sealed. I let it warm up to room temp, soak in hot water (still in the bag), then blowdry a few minutes, get it nice and warm, blast the head of it for good heat signature, then feed. Ours eats like a champ. Good luck.
