Re: *sigh wow this sucks

Dude, I put a dozen mice in a container once in August, fell asleep while they thawed, woke up next morning, forgot the mice and went about my day.

Three days later my kids asked me what died

So I find this little poly box sitting on the shelf in the snake room, I won't even describe it.

Re: *sigh wow this sucks

Hope you threw out the microwave too.... LOL!! That stench is NOT going to come out no matter HOW often you scrub it down!
Best way I've found to thaw out rodents is to put them in a bag in hot tap water. Change the water every 5 - 10 mins to keep it warm and in no time you'll have a fully thawed and warmed up rodent snack for your snake. Some people leave the rodent thaw in the water to give the snake some extra liquids. Don't see the need for that myself...
Good luck next time!

Re: *sigh wow this sucks

years ago one of my boas got sick and i fed it a couple large rats, about 6 days later it decided to regurgitate it.....OMG my eye were watering it smelt so bad, it had already broken down all the hair and skin... not even breathing through my shirt made any difference. lol good times lol. When i thaw my rats out i just put them in the water and feed them to the snakes wet, a little water isnt going to make a difference,

Re: *sigh wow this sucks

Friday night i was in a hurry so i pop the rats in the microwave on defrost. When i went to pull them out one of the rat fuzzies had either ear wax or a ear infection. All this nasty yellow stuff was coming out it right ear. So it went in the trash. Not sure what it was, but wasn't going to give it to any of my snakes.

The nasty smell every was a Savanna monitor i use to have threw up two mice. puke.gif I fed it and we left town for two days. Smell like a rotting corpse. Took three month to get the smell completely out of my bedroom.

Re: *sigh wow this sucks

We had to sleep in the living room for the next two month. Threw the cage out got rid of the savanna (trade him for a boa). Threw the curtains and the bed out just trying to get the smell out of the house. It was the nastiest thing i ever smelled. Cleaning the room i kept run to the bathroom to throw up.
