When thawing out my Snook's food, I just use a dedicated plastic container with about an inch of "as hot as I can get it" water from the faucet. I just toss the mouse in, put on the lid, and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. After thawing, I just pat it dry with a paper towel and Viola! One warm mouse for one happy little sand sausage! The only thing that worries me about this method is the fact that tap water can be harmful to snakes, unless you use reptisafe or some other method to nullify its harmful effects. Also, I just wanted to add that I love your channel. I've learned quite a bit from you and your videos! Can't wait to see more! lol

Novice tips for thawing rodents if a family member is a germaphobe: 1. Put rodent in a plastic bag, then place it in a disposable cup. 2. Thaw in fridge to reduce bacteria growth. Do NOT thaw it at room temp. 3. When thawed, remove from fridge. Heat water in the microwave and pour it into the cup. 4. When warm, feed to snake using tongs. Afterwards, throw used cup and bag away 5. Thoroughly clean tongs and hands. Disinfect sink if you have to. This is honestly what I have to do because my mom is afraid of cross contamination. As much as I’d like to designate an old plastic container for thawing rats (thus saving myself from throwing an insane amount of solo cups in the trash) she won’t let me. Even though I’ll happily clean it out like I do with the tongs. Oh well. The fact that she’ll let me keep a snake and frozen rats in the house at all is more than I could have asked for.
@Hi_Im_Akward10 ай бұрын
Thank you actually this helps me figure out that aspect. I don't have a snake yet but the cleanliness aspect concerns me. I don't mind designating and thoroughly sanitizing a cup every time but the idea of having a rodent uncontained in the fridge eeks me out. Also the heating of water in a separate container is brilliant, that probably was my biggest gross out factor. I don't want to throw out a bunch of plastic so I will probably figure out reusable non poris containers that are easy to sanitize.

Fed my ball python frozen/thawed for the first time yesterday. She was severely confused at first, but it might have been because the has never seen a BLACK mouse before. I put it outside her cave, she came to out and just started tonguing at it for a few minutes. I thought it might be too cold for her to recognize as food, but when I bumped it just a little bit with the tweezers she immediatly grabbed it and dragged it into her cave. She didn't try to wrap or choke it like she's used to with live food, so she must've realized on some level that it wasn't alive anymore. Still gobbled it right up though. Anyways, keeping snakes is fun.

For ball pythons in general, warming up the rodent after it is thawed will yield good success. A ball python that refuses a room temperature thawed rodent will usually take a warm thawed rodent no problem. Some jiggling helps too.

I thawed it out correctly and instead of holding the mouse by the tail, I held it by the back end. Sure enough, she took it! I wanted to get her to switch, since she almost lost her eye from a live feed, but I didn't know how. I'm so happy I can now feed her thawed without worry anymore.

I usually find snakes I'm looking for in less than 10 minutes! It doesn' seem like they have any available right now and the site is not very structured, but you can try to get on the waitlist.

I have the same issue, I'm in Australia and while there are native snakes to Australia, I've never met anyone with a pet snake. It's illegal to own any non native species here, but regardless I've never heard of a place that sells or breeds captive bred snakes and such

Hey guys! Love the content- always! I was wondering if you guys would consider making a video on heat tape and how to work it? I have a few snakes and am trying to implement a diy snake rack of sorts (kinda like the ones you have in your main snake room. Thank you for all the videos! I know that it must be a lot of work on top of your already busy schedule!

Happy to hear I’m thawing my rodents correctly! Good tip on how to hold the mouse/rat for feeding. Mine have eaten tail first a time or two! Very fortunate in where I get my rodents. We have a local aquarium store that used to sell snakes. They don’t any longer, but they still sell the food. We’ve dealt with them for over 40 years, so I can go in and pick each individual rat/mouse I want. Very close to home, too!

wen i thaw a rat for my ball python i use a plastic contaner (cant spell) and use as hot waster as i can from my bath tub and put in the rat it takes like 2 hours and you have to change the water after an hour or the water gets cold but thats for a large rat. thank you for more options and for such informational videos i love all of them i could have never known how to care for or had the will to hav gotten my snake (bubba) with out your videos also i would not be nearly as passionate for reptiles and animals with out your videos so just a big thanks Emely. and if you wondering i am wearing a neckles i made from my snakes sed and already made one in slitherin colors for my brother ;)

So, funny story. Back in 2007, one of my teachers had a corn snake. I was in 7th grade and had an IEP (individual educational plan.) As such, I was assigned a laptop and an aide who would periodically come by and help me in class. Since I preferred to NOT have my eardrums blown out in the cafeteria, I commonly ate lunch in her office, which she shared with three other special educators. She also let me use her fridge and microwave. On the last day of the year, I was helping her clean out the freezer. I found a weird container and went around asking the people in the room if it was theirs. When everyone said no, I decided to open it. One of the special educators, a woman in her late 50's-early 60's damn near fainted when she saw a good half dozen pinkies in the styrofoam container. We knew who it belonged to at that moment. There was only one snake in the school. So I took the pinkies to her classroom (we couldn't leave them in the freezer, as they were going to unplug it to do electrical work over the Summer,) quietly slipped into the back of her room, and waited until she had a moment (she was teaching both 6th and 7th grade that year.) When she asked why I was there, I showed her what I found and asked if they were her's. She popped one into her microwave (somehow it didn't explode) and fed it to her snake right in the middle of her class. Then next year (she was teaching 8th grade then,) her snake got out in the middle of class and caused a commotion. LOL

Just a rando person's method of thawing here; Place frozen rodent in baggie (I label these with weights so I know how heavy they are, and what snake can eat them). Add RO water to baggie, just enough to 'encase' the rodent. Add baggie with rodent and water to a gallon ice-cream tub of warm/hot water (I add multiple at a time) Allow 30-60 mins for thaw. Replace water with hot water (not scalding) Allow 10 mins to warm up. Remove rodent, and pat dry with paper toweling Feed. The RO water on the rodent will 'absorb' the scents of the rodent and basically broth it. This has been more successful to me than other methods.

I have a ball python, and he's a bit of a picky eater. Through trial and error, I've found that he likes: 1. A warm to hot rat (97F to 100F) 2. When I drop the rat in the enclosure instead of dangling it 3. When I give him 10-15 min of privacy (lights off, door to room closed) to "hunt" the rat by himself With that combination (+ occasional use of scenting during colder seasons) he eats consistently. 🥰🐍

Hello Emily, yet another very helpful and informative video. Thanks. I only have 5 snakes so I order from LLI or Layne Laboratories Inc. Because I have fewer snakes they allow you to order smaller amounts whereas some places smallest amount you can order is like 100 of an item. I don't need that many at a time, they will go bad before I can use them. Also they come in colored Ziplock bags so you're not seeing Frozen rodents through a clear plastic bag in your freezer.

my boyfriend was talking about trying to capture a wild snake or buy a large enough one and feed it live. i tried to talk to him about this channel and how frozen thawed is best for snakes and other animals and he told me it builds character in the snake to feed it live....in an avid fan of this channel and it made me want to slap him saying feeding live is best.
@reptilerant1734 жыл бұрын
I definitely wouldn’t say it “builds character” however, feeding live isn’t as bad for the snake as some people make it. Snakes don’t need live and it tends to be more efficient for the owner to feed frozen thawed. However, there are some snakes that will only eat live, so keep that in mind. Also health wise there is no difference, the issue with feeding live is that it can bite your snake and some people don’t want to see a live animal die.

The website you talked about was 1/3rd the cost of the online store I used initially. I also watched a half a dozen of your other videos for tips on heat/humidity care, when/where/how to feed your snake etc. and all of your videos are packed with wonderful information that seem to cover a wide range of reptile care tips from a neutral stand point. Terrific work.
