When to Start Breeding

I have one small snow corn snake at the moment. In a few months, I will be getting a 32qt rack system and get myself another snake, possibly a corn. The rack houses 4 snakes. When would be a good time to start breeding mice for corn snakes?

I'd hold off until you get your second snake. You didn't mention how soon you thought you'd be getting a third or fourth snake. Usually it's not worth breeding rodents until you have at least 3 snakes, but I suppose you could get started if you get a second one with plans on getting more.

Also, will you be feeding live or F/T? If feeding F/T, you can always freeze the surplus for when you get more snakes.

I plan on getting my second snake as soon as I can get the rack, which will be in a few months. I do have plans to get more snakes, so the rack will be perfect as it holds 4 snakes. (Question, can full-grown corns be kept in a 32qt rack?)

I will be feeding f/t so yes, I can always freeze the surplus offspring. A few more questions.

What size mice do full grown corns eat? And if more than one at one feeding, how many?

How many males and females should I get to start off this breeding colony once I start breeding for my snakes?

This is the 32qt rack I'll be getting for my snakes. Ok for corns?

No one is going to answer my questions?

Well....BUMP..I guess

I can't help but I can bump it to the top for you:D

Thanks! :P

Most corn breeders keep them in 27 qt. tubs with success so my answer would be yes to the size question. What size mice is your corn eating now?

i am still holding off on breeding, i have 4 snakes, and 2 female rats, but i won't breed them untill i really need to. and i just ordered about 120$ worth of rats online, so, i have a feeling i won't be needing to for a looong time. lol.

I also just placed a frozen rat order 2 weeks ago for about $100 in frozen rats but I am breeding rats just to have some extra pinks and pups. I will give some to a friend of mine who has 3 small snakes and I will be trading some off once I start getting more but for now, in the freezer they go (after the CO2 chamber).
