| Hi and welcome, best way to freeze then is in the freezer. You wold get them from the shop frozen just add them into the freezer when you get home. Defrost, I have mine in a tupperware dish and just thaw till defrosted |
 
Royals, Corns, Boa, Kings, Hoggy, Ratsnakes

If its attached to a thermostat then you should be able to leave it on as the thermostat will tell what temp it is turn it on/off when needs be. If its not then check your thermometers regualy and turn it off/on when you need to. Although it really should be stated, if you havent got one you should try to get one ASAP. Oh, I almost forgot, welcome to the forum  |

Hi and welcome to the forum Jamie  I'm feeding Blitz live hamster, and when i bought Blitz he didn't eat for 5 months there is other royals python who will eat in thier very first day, so it's up to snake's personality. |

I had a royal python (Blitz) for two years for those who are wondering what I'm doing here with my boa :D |
