Cool sound advice yet again. Ive been defrosting naturally then warming in warm to hot water for few min utes before feeding

Agree- defrost in room temperature water to make sure you dont cook the prey item, if you do, you can promote bacteria growth before it's eaten, which could result in a poorly snake. I put mine in warm water once completely defrosted just because unlike CDN, i don't have spare heat lamps around that's purely to help the snake's IR sensors pick it up, and not get my hand!!

Naturally or in luke-warm water is how I defrost mine, and then they spend a few moments under a heat lamp once completely thawed if the snake they're going to requires that.
