Is live feeding really that dangerous?

[Lizardlicks]

You could pick up one of those mini fridges the college kids use that are like 24" X 24". it wouldn't take up much space and it could be used exclusively for your stuff so the Hubby won't be offended.

I have one but was planning on converting it into an incubator

Plus with two snakes it seems a waste to take up a whole mini fridge just to defrost two rats once a week. I'm sure once the collection grows it'll become more efficient to do it that way, but rn a cup of cold water is plenty.
