My collection consists of only 3 snakes at the moment...2 of which feed on hopper mice and 1 on adult mice. I plan on adding another juvie and 2 big females to the collection soon. Now, my question is this: Would it make sense to get 1.3 rats and produce my own food? I've got a spare 20g lying around that can house them. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this. How many rodents can I expect them to produce and how long until I have some appropriately sized rodents to feed?
