I put another prekilled rat into the tank and she did not eat it, I left her overnight with it right on top of her. Is this rat still ok to freeze or has it been to long.

Is it ok to freeze a pre killed rat after it sat in a tank overnight?

It's probably been too long. Tissue begins to break down after just a few hours (decomposition) and even if it looked okay at freezing it's likely you'd have a rotten rat after re-thawing.

I agree,after a few hours i wouldnt re-freeze it,but now after about an hour maybe a lil longer,it should be fine,but i usually dont re-freeze the rats i use,i just feed them to another snake that can eat them if its time for them to eat or throw it away.
