    Feeding Question
    I'll preface with the fact that I do not own a BP yet, just want to cover all my bases before I get one.

    If I were to order f/t rats from like, rodentspro or something like that, I'd want to buy enough that it would last maybe 6 months or more so I wouldn't have to ship often. My question then is, what if my snake outgrows the size rats I have ordered? Can I just feed 2, or more often?

    You can feed two at a time depending on the size, IMO it's better to feed one appropriate sized prey once every 5-7 days though. It's much easier buying f/t rats from shows though...I'm sure there's at least one near you.

    I'll be living in Fort Wayne, IN... the closest shows I've managed to find are Indianapolis and another town in Indiana, both of which are 2 hours away.

    If anyone is aware of shows that happen closer to Fort Wayne then I'd love for you to share! I have never been but always wanted to go to one.

    I'd check out http://lllreptile.com/ for frozen...imo it's a little cheaper and no guessing game with the price's cause the listed prices include shipping

    I've gotten a quote from rodentpro and they're actually a little bit cheaper with them.
