Yes, you should feed carpet pythons rats from birth to death (though big ones can take guinea pigs, rabbits etc).

I order my frozen rat pinkies online. There are a number of places you can do this from.

Rodentpro.com is a big name.

I ordered from a guy off of kingsnake.com who had slightly better prices, but I think next time I'll go with rodent pro as I've had issues with quality in packaging.

What is the shipping/handling fee for rats from Rodentpro.com?

It's expensive, but the more you buy, the less shipping cost per feeder it works out to be.

If I remember correctly it started at around $40. Still in bulk, I spend less than $1 per feeder, compared to $2+ per feeder at the shop.

If you only have one or two snakes to feed, craigslist is probably a great source for someone who breeds rodents.
