I would appreciate a detailed explaination of your prep process. Thanks
well I feed all my snakes frozen thawed and I take my rats / mice out the freezer in the morning or purchase them in the morning and let them thaw out naturally in room temp during the day. The rats, when I am using Jumbo rats, I place in warm bucket of water inside a plastic bag as they take longer to thaw due to their bulk and size ,but I know people who dont bother with the bags.

Personally I like to heat mine later in the evening when thawed out with a hairdryer as I find I get a better feeding response and I always heat the head area hotter to focus the snake on that particular area when feeding off the tongs.

hope that is useful to you
