That Jungle is insane!!!! Stunning snake!
As the others have said....... Hot water? I don't know why but It weakens the skin on the stomach and it ruptures? I now just leave the rats out and let them defrost naturally, have never had it happen since! Alternately, if u want to defrost quicker, put the rat in a sandwich or freezer bag and immerse this in water. No more exploding rats lol!
