I bought some frozen pinkies, & I chopped one of them up & added chopped up worms. I had to take pictures, to show Aundrea!!!

I know that practically ALL of us here do that.... but I am pretty sure you are the first one to actually show pictures of it........ LOL!!!!!

[Garter_Gertie]

Good for you, GIRLFRIEND! YOU GO!!!

Don't feed until the pinkies come to room temp or warmer...

GOOD JOB!

[Aundrea]

I have been tempted to take pictures, but that "Gumbo" is just gross looking.

Still maintain, its cleaner to cut up semi-frozen pinks, I take them out of the freezer for about a minute or two, and then use a heavy butcher knife, line it all up and force down.

As long as I pile all the cut pinky into a bowl before it thaws, I can just grab strips with tongs.

Way to go Stepahanie!!!!:D

The pinkie was already defrosted.. from the long ride home. It was about 85 degrees out.

"Gumbo" ewwwwww:eek:

[GartersRock]

Scissors are better for cutting pinkies. :D Just thaw them out completely.

Look at that. Can't cut them cleaner than that.

[drache]

will try the scissors some rime
they work great for the worms
the pinks I've just been chopping when they're still fully frozen - no mess at all

[reptile3]

Will get me some scissors today!!! Thanks:D

Nicely done Steph! It's amazing how quickly we "get over" these things when we know it's what's best for the snakes :)

btw, Stefan, my sliced pinkies look exactly like that after being cut frozen :) I say whatever works!
