Thank you for the info. I was honestly trying to do it right. I put the frozen yuckie in a cup of hot water, changing the water twice so it was fully thawed and warm, squeezed it out some and used tongs and held it by the tail and wiggled it.

Both snakes have water bowls and a moisture box that has sphagnum moss and water in it to add more moisture to the environment. The humidity is about 50% set up that way.
