no... this was truely one of those dumb*** moments,
i ususally pull 'em out of the freezer and let them just air defrost until that evening, and then give them a few moments under a heat lamp.
well, this time, i just stuck them straight under the heat lamp, right out of the freezer...
guess i forgot how hot those things really get
one of the mice just kinda had a blow out...
makes me wonder if snakes could go veggie, b/c that stuff was all kinds of nasty...

That's one of those pictures that I wish I could see, but I'm sure I'd change my mind once I saw it! Well, live and learn!

LOL 
Yeah - mice don't hold up very well under the heat lamp - I was warming a batch of them up one night got distracted with the baby - came back 20 minutes later to a half dozen splattered and fried mice on the warming plate.
Rats hold up much better - LOL.
