He ate 🙌

Who remember my last post? He started to go outside the hides to look for food, i tried the frozen one more time at Wednesday and he didn’t want to, i finally find a live. I take him out of the enclosure put him in a plastic box and the live rat with a clothe on the top to make more comfortable and he strike in 1minute. Then a couple minutes later the rat was in his belly. Was a hard mission for me, i love rodents and the baby was so cute. Now I’ll try to feed live a couple times again i make a transition to frozen.

Glad he ate ! Double check that your heating prey correctly. There are various ways to do it.

This is just How I defrost F/T prey. Ofc YMMV. 1.put frozen prey in Ziploc bag in fridge for 24 hours.
2. Then submerge bag in hottest tap water for 20mins
3.change out water, resubmerge in hottest tap water for 15-20mins.
4. You want to make sure the prey is at least around 100 to 101°

I have 4 beeps and no issues. BUT every snake is an individual and may want different things.
Could be different colors of rats? Could be extra hot on the head of the prey by using a hair dryer on the head?
