Re: Question about F/T
You can yes, should you? No.
Once it reaches room temperature and is thawed bacterial growth will have already started.

Re: Question about F/T
Short answer is no it's best not to.. As Cory said bacteria will start to grow, and decomposition wil be starting.

Re: Question about F/T
Some do, some dont, some will, some wont 
Personally i treat their food the same as mine, once defrosted it gets fed or thrown but not refrozen

Re: Question about F/T
IMO it's best not to. Bacteria begins to grow exponentially, and refreezing does not kill this bacteria.
Notice how stinky they get after the second thaw? You wouldn't eat meat if it went like that, so why should your snake

Re: Question about F/T
I would and I do. I just had a shipment last month get lost for a week in 35°-40° f weather. I kept that box as my personal feeders and have been feeding 10 snakes from it with absolutely no issues.
