| | Alpha Male Subscriber | Join Date: May-06 Location: Sydney Age: 22 | | | | i just throw mine in warm water to defrost mine.. helps the calcium powder to stick to the rodent lol,
although it can get a bit messy.. might try the next lot in a freezer bag to keep in dry. |

|  | Happy!!!! Subscriber | Join Date: Sep-06 Location: Brisbane Gender: | | | My snakes don't tend to like the warm water routine. I tend to put them in a sealed container and, at the most, an hour later they are ready, with the weather we have been having here in Brissie over the last few days it's only been taking no more than 1/2 an hour, having said that I am only onto fuzzies and weaner mice, not too sure when I have to advance beyond that  |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Cairns | | | | I used to use warm water, now I just get them out around lunch time and feed them off when they are thawed through. None of my current snakes insist on the rodent being warmed.
