The water held in the rats hair can only be good for the snakes and being wet it would make it easier for them to swallow.

Same here.

It would take hours to defrost the centre of a bag of 10 that way.

Great idea if you only have a few to defrost. I'd need a 20L ice-cream tub if I did it like that!
(yes, I know it would work the same in a bucket with a lid)

Good thinking mate! All you need now is a heating element set to your desired temp and you'd get a water efficient version!
