If this helps. We feed sm/medium rats. Here is our process. Fyi, our rats are frozen individually in vac sealed bags.
24 hour before, select rat and put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Lie to wife about rat in fridge.
2 hour before, take rat out and leave on counter in plain sight to annoy wife.
30-45 min before, soak "rat hot pocket" in hot water with water change every 10 minutes or so.
5 min before, open up packet, lay rat on paper towels and use the wifes hairdryer to dry it off and warm it up further.
Go time.......scent the air with the rat to get the snake interested, hold with tongs, snake eats rat.
So far it is working great.
