That's what I'd do...I know you hate to waste the food, but it's not worth making your snake sick IMO. You're welcome.
You have to remember that our snakes are eating raw whole creatures that "come with" plenty of germs; people often thaw their
own food (meat) at room temperature, but then they cook it & that kills the germs. Plus humans are only eating the meat, not
the whole creature, guts & all. That gets nasty pretty quick.
