K, I have a bp and soon, probably in less than a month I will also have a brazilian rainbow boa. I know thats not really enough snakes to be breeding feeders myself, but my bp is on adult mice right now, and I'm hoping to get a brb that will be about the size to take adult mice as well. Now I think most people would say I'd be over run with mice because I'd only have 2 snakes to feed to, but I'd be waiting for them to get to adult size anyways, and its not like theyre gonna get any bigger than what I need (this is why I'm thinking mice, not rats, because if I didn't feed off the rats soon enough, they'd get too big).

I know that all sounds a little complicated so basically, heres my plan: I would just have 1 breeding pair to start, and once they had one litter, I would remove the male. Once the babies were weened, I would separate them according to sex. I would then take care of them until they are all adults. (throughout this time I will continue to purchase feeders from the pet store). Once I am down to a certain number of mice I will allow one more litter to be born, and start the process over again. Hows that sound?

ps. I know someone will just say, "If you have access to live feeders from the pet store anyways, why not keep buying from there" the answer is, it is a long ways away and is annoying to go out there every week. Also I don't drive yet so its a hassle on my parents and its sometimes hard to get them to take me.

If someone says its a good idea, I'm not gonna get it all set up tomorrow or something like that, I'm just looking for input and I'm exploring all my options here. Thanks! Sorry for the huge post.
