Gray Rushin has a good method for thawing frozen Rodents on his website: www.allboas.com. He just fills a sink with hot tap water and puts the rodents in a tight sealed Tupperware type container. Then he puts the container in the water where it floats a while and flips it over to the other side for a while and lets them thaw. Personally i, and many very big time breeders i know, just put the rodents directly into a bucket of hot tap water and let them thaw to a point where if there are no hot spots felt by grasping the Rodent and sqeezing it lightly just under the back bone, they are ready to go. I can think of no problems caused by warm wet Rodents being fed to snakes. In fact, the snake can swallow a wet lubricated rodent easier then a dry one. I have yet to get a gut buster after 26 years of using this method.
