Yes, they have to be frozen for a number of weeks though.......

Or frozen for a shorter period of time in an industrial or chest freezer (gets to around -20C - much colder than home freezers.)

Nothing that should harm a snake will survive.

Are you sure about that? I thought home freezers are supposed to stay below -18 degrees also?
