Nasty case of an exploding f/t small rat

[SCWood]

I did my usual thawing method of a small f/t rat for my normal girl last night. I let the rat thaw out at room temperature and then heated the head with a blow dryer. I presented it to my girl and when she struck and coiled, guts flew everywhere. Talk about disgusting and stinky. This has got to be the worst case of explosive rat guts I have ever encountered in my entire seven years of keeping ball pythons. Amazingly enough she still ate the damn thing too.

I've never had this happen! I thaw mine in hot water until they are soft all the way through and immediately feed. Sometimes, I have to reheat with a blow dryer if they're feeling picky. Never any explosion of guys, though.
