That makes a lot of sense, I haven't tried the over night thing. Do you think I should do it close to her cage? Or would that even matter much

That and it's easier to store of course

yup that's what I mean, just keep trying FT, I cant see it being any different vrs fresh killed, so you can save yourself the trouble

This is a very interesting thought I think I am going to give this a try and see if I see a difference in feeding responses.

mine are the same way,I toss the rats in the water downstairs and let them thaw out, and as soon as I walk into the snake room all my snakes in there cages are moving around like a dog waiting for his treats, and that only in a couple hours, all night im afraid they might break out to get lunch lol
