What most people do (from what I can tell) is put the frozen feeder over day in the fridge, or for a bunch o hours at room temperature, and afterwards put it in warm water (no hotter than comes out of the tap) for 10 minutes to get the body heat up (might have to refresh the water at halftime)
Thanks mate,
I feel a little irresponsible for not knowing everything about snakes before getting one. But I'm also trying to do everything i can as quick as i can to make her happy.
Will defo do this next time!
