| hi there, welcome, pinkies don't really need that long to defrost, i just put mine on a bit of kitchen roll and leave for 30 - 60 minutes and they're defrosted, some warm them in water, but its personal to each snake how they like them. If i've left one overnight in the faun that hasn't been eaten its usually started to go a bit 'ripe' due to the heat in there, not sure if it would do the same just left out |

| Hi and welcome :) I usually drop pinkies in a jug of hot water for 10 mins (slightly longer now using fuzzies) then feed them to the snake wet. Corno has never missed a feed yet so she must like them that way! :) |
