Better way to thaw frozen prey?

[Mike Schultz]

place prey item in a plastic bag ( think u guys call it a zip lock ? )

defrost in warm water , remove DRY prey item , et voila !

I've tried that and all I get is a floating bag with a half-thawed mouse (the side that was touching the water is thawed while the other side is still cold lol) Maybe I should weight the bag...

Most reasonable way is to lay them out the night before you feed. We lay them out in the snake room. They will not smell real strong until they start to thaw good, SO, quess what, you are prescenting the room. We have an overwhelming feeding response with out boas doing this, 100% almost everytime.

I would do that, but I keep my snakes in my bedroom... I don't want my room smelling "real strong"
