| I usually defrost mice mice and rats in a bowl placed over another bowl containing quite warm water. The bowl that has the mice/rats in sits so that the bottom of the bowl just touches the water. Like this it helps with the defrosting and helps to warm the mice/rats. I change the water towards the end of defrosting so that it warms the mice/rats nicely. |

I think most of us give our snakes warmed mice.
Good luck.  |

10-20 second blast with a hair dryer is what we do.......we even have hair driers specifically for mouse/rat/rabbit warming purposes 
of course this is because i never bother properly drying my hair and dazb doesn't have enough hair to worry about  |
