I don't use a blow dryer at all. Here is what I do:

1. Take out of freezer and put in a ziploc bag
2. Put bag into bowl of luke warm water and sit an empty cup (or something) on it, so it's held under water. Leave it there until the prey is soft and squeezable and no cold spots.
3. replace luke warm water with hot tap water and let it sit in there for maybe a minute or two... (the time it takes me to get from my kitchn to the snake's enclosure.
4. Pull the mouse out of the baggie with my hemostats and present it to the snake.

I too have never had an issue and have gotten very fast feed responses. I've seen videos of some people always putting the whole mouse in warm water. I guess the snake gets more water that way, but I've never tried it. My method allows me to go from freezer to dinner time in about 10 minutes if i want, and doesn't take anything special. I think the main thing is just finding something that works for you and your snake. From what I have read, some snakes are just a lot more finicky when it comes to their prey and feeding habbits. Others, not so much. I'm sure there are some other factors, but I'm just a newbie, so I'll keep those thoughts to myself. lol
