Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Leftover feeders
What do you do with your thawed rodents when they are not eaten? Do you chuck them or refreeze them? I ha e this problem every few feeds when 1 or more snakes will refuse a meal and I have noone left to feed it to. Sometimes this only gets doscovered in the morning as some of my snakes wont tong feed and I have to leave the mouse over the warm spot overnight. I probably chuck 20% of my feeders like this in a bad month.

If they have only been thawed out once it is ok to refreeze them. I would not recommend doin it a second time tho. Also if the rodent has been sitting out for a long time like overnight i would not freeze it again. You could always thaw out in smaller quantities so that way if a few dont eat not all your rodents are completely thawed out & you can refreeze the ones that are still a lil cool.
Good luck

This, and check all of your snakes after an hour rather than the next morning. By now you probably have a good idea of which ones are picky and which are not.
Feed the garbage disposals like boas last. If you don't have a boa then get one.

Good advice given, take out a few less than you need if possible, maybe stagger the feedings a day or two? I don't refreeze. I have boas, a corn snake and king snake that get anything that isn't taken (but if it was left overnight, then it gets tossed). I hate the waste but sometimes it happens however 20% is way more than I'd want to be throwing away.

Thanks for the advice. My work schedule is such that feeding once a week when I'm off is easiest but I think staggering days will be worth a try.
