F/T feeding....

[SRMD]

We use a ziploc, empty butter container, and warmer water. Takes about 45-1hr to thaw. Usually 1 water change. You want them to where you can squeeze the rat and its guts feel slightly warm.

Some people re-freeze if the snake refuses. We do not. Bacteria starts as soon as the rat hits the water to thaw. We also always feed in a seperate tub to prevent tank agression. Some folks do, some dont.

I have had my BP for 3 years, fed him in his enclosure since day 1, he has never once showed me a sign of aggression.

OP, I leave my BP to thaw for a couple of hours, then blast with a hairdryer.
