| I put mine on a plate in the microwave and leave them there until they defrost, but just to make it clear, I DON'T use the microwave to defrost. When they've defrosted I put them into a small tub of warm water to bring them up to a nice temperature. |

| I put mine in a cricket box on top of an aquarium light fitting, then give them a last warm on one of the heat mats. Yes, in this weather you can't leave them uncovered; the flies will come. And in a closed box they don't go all dry and unappetising. Nice mice! |

misspiggy18, depends on what the snake is like really. Some will take it just at room temp, others will not touch it unless it is warmer than that. Just try both ways with your snakey and see which way he prefers 
edit - spelling. |

| its better not to put them in warm water as it makes the bacteria thrive more, got told this by dads friend who had a 11ft boa haha |

Ewwwww! I thought it was a joke!
Loads of times I've seen something nasty emerging from mouse's rear end as it defrosts ....
Miss Piggy 18, was defrost successful, did snakey eat his grub? |

I cook mine in the oven for 2 hours on a low heat, then serve them up on a plate with boiled potatos and a leafy salad. My Rusty loves them like that.
