Frozen food can kill not injure your snake

[xShevi]

I wouldnt worry. I've been feeding all my snakes F/T for years and never had a problem and i got snakes close too $1000 each. You just have to get from a reputable source. And generally, you will know when a F/T is bad when you thaw it out and it stinks to high heaven and makes you want to gag lol.

Good. I had that once and returned it all. Thanks for this Sauzo.

Here in the Netherlands it's hard getting by f/t food from reputable sources. I just go by pet stores or order them online from this one company that seems to be good, but if they don't have any I would have to order somewhere else.. I did that last week and I received the rats by post a little soft, yet frozen inside wrapped in a tempex box in an ice pack that was frozen solid inside and a little thawed on the outside. I fed my snake one of these rats 2 days ago, but actually didn't smell anything, so they are good then.

Is it me or do rats smell more neutral, or not like anything at all, compared to mice, who just don't smell very nice?

I was doubting myself, then reading this, nearly had a breakdown in front of the vivarium cursing myself and apologizing to the snake lmao... Thanks Sauzo.
