before i get my corn i was wondering after i thaw out the pinkie do i warm it up, if so how, in the microwave?
 
You can thaw and warm at the same time. Put it in something with warm water for about 10 - 15 minutes. Check and make sure it's defrosted all the way thru and feed:)
 
I agree with Alicia. Warm water is the way to go. Microwave can develop hot stops that can burn the snake.
 
Plus it can get very messy if you use a microwave (yuck!). The pinkie should be at body temp so you can either use warm water like the other two suggested or you can hold a thawed pinkie in your hand to raise it to body temp. Whichever is easier for you.
 
Yes, definitely avoid the microwave or you'll have some serious clean-up on your hands. Plus, you don't want to overheat it-I have cooked pinkies before by dropping them into water that was too hot. Just let it soak in warm tap water for a few minutes, until it feels squishy all the way through.
