As for defrosting and heating...I let the prey item defrost in the fridge. Then, my tap water gets hot enough on its own to heat the prey. Depending on the size of the prey, I may have to dump the water and refill it once or twice though. That's enough to heat the prey to approx 100 degrees and serve.
The way you're doing may actually be starting to cook the prey on the outside while the middle is still cold. You shouldn't need 212+ degree water to get to 100 degrees.
I do the spot cleaning and water bowl after I feed her, and I move her hides after I offer it and she doesn’t stick her head out of her hide, what should I do if she doesn’t stick her head out? And thanks for the thawing info, I’ll definitely do that from now on.
