MY First Ball Python

Recently I have been looking for ways to switch over my ball python food source.  I live about 45 minutes from home so I wanted to try to switch over to frozen mice to cut down on long trips.  I found a post on the internet with a couple tips and I finally found one that worked for me.  First I got the frozen mouse and put it into a zip lock bag and submerged it under hot water for a couple hours for it to get thawed out.  Then I got some paper napkins and laid the mouse out on it.  I took a hair dryer and went over the mouse until it got fairly warm as a live mouse would be.  Then I took a pair of tongs and moved the mouse around a little and bam she ate it right up like a live mouse.
