The best way to defrost any meat is overnight in your fridge. Same goes for rodents - just pull out as many as you need put them in a ziplock in your fridge and you'll be good to go the next evening. If you have other people that go into your fridge you might want to stick them in a paper bag also - your friends and relatives will probably think you nuts if they see a bunch of dead rodents in you fridge - of course since you own snakes they probably already think you're nuts.

Then when you are ready to feed - you can warm them with water or a heat lamp. This method also cuts down on the exploding that can occur when they are heated up too quickly.
