I did disclose the fact that they were for food. I recieve a good response from a few people. Now I pay,1.00 for any size rat.

I actually buy my frozen rodents from Mike of Houston Herp (I go to school in Tomball, so just pop by his place on the way home...but he also ships/delivers)! Not sure if he has live, but he's a good guy with lots of connections in the herp community...if he doesn't have them, I'm sure he'll be able to direct you to someone who does!

Yea Ive been speaking with Mike. He doesn't have any live so ima get some frozen from him and just await his reply on if he has a live source to refer me to. If only this little girl would just eat a dang f/t rat. Tried twice and she wasnt having it at all. Even tried the whole rub the frozen on the live to try to get the scent....nothing. But once I dropped the live in there, it took her less than 5 seconds to have it all wrapped up. Im just really not looking forward to paying 8 bucks a week to feed that girl. Hopefully Mike will have someone to send me to or else hopefully this reptile expo this weekend will provide me with a source. Keep yalls fingers crossed for me.

As far as breeding my own. I just moved into my buddies new house with him, and I dont think he would be very thrilled about me having rats breeding in the house...if all else fails I may try to convince him, but dont they smell pretty bad??

We will see...
